every year, when the Royals come out wearing more medals than the ones who actually fought in the wars. If tomorrow I see the likes of Prince William ( Noted for heroism for shooting deer at Balmoral, whilst being protected by the SAS) and Prince Harry ( Noted for shooting two rare birds at Sandringham) come out stacked with medals like their dad, who couldnt steer a boat out of the harbour, or fly a plane on his own, then as my father used to say, scrap this farce and let people just remember the dead in our own way.

My husband is a retired Navy CPO. I'd like to find somewhere to buy a T-shirt with the CPO anchor AND the ship's logos (he was on several). Any idea where I might order such a thing?

We have no real concept of the price that has been paid for the freedom we enjoy. We can offer our gratitude anyway! Will you take this opportunity to say thanks to all our past and present men and women in uniform and honor them?

Only thanks please, no negativity.

I am 30 now and am considering enlisting in the AF Reserve/ANG in the next few months (at which point I would be 31). I have an established career and college degree but I feel something is missing in life and regret not having joined earlier. My question is not so much as to my ability - physical or otherwise - to join the AF Reserve, but the cultural aspect. Am I likely to be the oldest person in my BMT? If I get a friend to enlist with me can we be in the same flight? Are persons going into the reserves in BMT with other reservists or is it mixed? Any other thoughts/comments? Age is really my holdup right now ... if any branch had a program specifically for 27+ persons I'd literally sign up tomorrow but obviously that's not an option.

If a Colonel in the Army is put under arrest for murder/attempted murder (in another state) - does he stand trial where the crimes are committed, or does he get shipped back to his post to stand a military trial? (I am writing a story - need it to be believeable)

Im not looking for a class to join, im not looking to win a medal in sportsman ship im looking to survive. So if you have any important information on street fighting, punchings tactics, how to train at home without all this equipment please tell me. Any website will do fine. Thanks...

I just wanted to say Thank you to all the men and women who are serving or who have served in our Military. Thank you for serving our Country, thank you to your families who let you go unselfishly, thank you for risking your lives. Thank You for being willing to fight the good fight.
In the world we live in so many people are not for you but against you. That is not the case here. I appreciate all you do, all you have left behind, all you have lost.
If I could shake your hand in person I would. Since I can't, I send you my gratitude, my love and my appreciation for all you do.

For those who are not in the Armed Forces, the next time you see a Solider in uniform or a Vet ( you will know them by the hats they wear) shake their hand and say Thank you.
God Bless you all.

The military says they fight for freedom of the press but at the same time the military says it wants the free press out of Iraq. The military says the press hurts the war effort.

I have spent the last few days in airports going back and forth across the counrtry. In all of them I saw troops either being deployed or coming home. In almost all cases they were sitting by themselves quietly. The vast majority of people ignored them as if they were the the plague. So I spent a few bucks buying them all beers. Ok, so it cost me a few bucks. I just don't understand why I was the only one to contribute in a small way our appreciation for people that are willing to fight and die for all of us.
A silly yellow ribbon bought at the 7-11 just doesn't cut it for me.
