My favorite serviceperson is a Viet Nam Veteran and my brother. He, as did many of our generation, accepted the call of his country to defend freedom for people everywhere -not just the USA. He was 18 when he voluntarily joined the Marine Corps. He served in Viet Nam as a "tunnel rat"and used a flamethrower to do his job. He came home, like the rest of the Viet Nam vets , to derision by the American people. But, because of the sacrifices he made, along with all the other military personnel in our country's history, we are able to live a peaceful life. He is now 63 years old, and a very patriotic American, proud of his service to his country, and would defend it still if needed.
I am proud that he loves freedom to live here in peace enough to gamble his very life for that cause---for you and for me! Semper Fi!

I have 3 grandchildren in different branches of service, a grandaughter in the Army, a grandaughter in the Air force and a grandson in the Marines in Iraq. The Air force gal is in Montana and the Army gal is in Texas. I am very proud that they are willing to take that kind of a challenge!

I love my brother. He has served two tours in Iraq. He is an officer. In the service of his country he lost his wife and family to divorce. He puts his service to his country second only to service of God. I admire that.
