You said it all J.M. They no longer understand it if they ever did.

I’m an USAF veteran from the Vietnam era. My bother flew a boom on a KC-135. Our father was a veteran of WWII with the USAAF in Europe. One Uncle who fought through Italy and another who fought in the Pacific theater.

I’, also of Irish ancestory which I guess is why here in Mexico, people seem to go out of their way to be nice, polite and friendly. Or maybe, that is just the way Mexico and it’s citizens are.

I just want to say Thank you, and Honor those Irish soldiers who fought and died for what they believed in.
And for my little friend Marty, what do you know of war Sir. Men like John McCain, and myself fought for our country, so people like you, can have the freedom to voice your opinion. Don’t you ever forget it.

When you become an elected leader, then you can determine which wars, should be engaged, and avoided.

“Definition of a Veteran”

A Veteran – whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve,
is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made
payable to “The United States of America”, for an amount of “up to
and including my life.”

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who
no longer understand it.

I FEEL THESE IRISH SOLDIERS WERE TRULY HEROS AND SHOULD BE HONORED BY THIS COUNTRY AS WELL. IT IS TOO BAD THAT WE ARE IN ANOTHER UNJUST WAR AT THIS TIME, AND IF MCCAIN HAS HIS WAY WE WILL CONTINUE THIS WAR FOR MANY YEARS.
