For all of you who show your appreciation to those of us in the military I and all service members thank you so very much. We don't sacrifice our time away from our families and serve in such terrible places for the money or glory. We serve because we know we make a difference against terrorism and that there are some that are appreciative of what we do. I serve for my son, my mom and dad, my other relatives, my friends and for those of you who know we are in this war for the right reasons. And yes, I serve even for those who don't support our commander in chief and therefore don't support us. I feel sorry for them in that they don't have a realistic idea of the threats in this world and are pacifists hoping the threats will just go away. No matter how many lives we lose and how this war turns out there are those who will never appreciate what was sacrificed and consider the justification of our mission. Above all, the "thanks" we get from some of you are what keeps us going. Just to hear a "thank you" from some of you out there means more to us than you could ever know.
