I'm in NC and it's late here, so I realized that the guys overseas are up really late. And I know you've got harder days and nights than I do. Take care and try to get enough rest. God bless you and keep you safe.

Thanks, y'all, for all you do. :unitedstates:

I found this quote that reminds me that we should cherish the freedom and liberty that we so often take for granted and also cherish those who fight to protect our way of life. Thanks.
"Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will."
Frederick Douglass

What are you serving for? Our freedom?SapperPE said:
Seems to be at a bit of a loss on this forum...if you know what I mean.
Sapper...you need to step up to the plate and deliver that home run. Do what you should be doing!
TM...soon to be banned for no good reason!

^^^ I second that statement. I would also add that he doesn't seem to understand words like honor, integrity, duty, commitment - these are things that our men and women in the armed forces live and breathe each and every day. Unlike TM the interloper who seems to have the answer to everything and duty to himself above everything else.

"for no good reason!"....You just showed us the good reason TM. You have no respect nor decency.
How dare you to mix our troops mission with your egomaniac pretentions?
TMcK, for what it worth, I still had some kind of respect for you until now. You have no class and do not deserve to have the Engineer tittle.
I am very sorry about this Sapper. My apologies in behalf of all of us that support our Armed Forces.

Being a fairly late arrival here, I wondered what that guy could have done to so completely piss off many members of this group. That was until I logged on this morning. This man has no shame.
Thank you Luis and JR for posting intelligent responses. I was reduced to swearing every other word and didn't want to post a profanity filled rant on this thread.

The Essence of a Hero
"True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others whatever the cost."
I saw a poster on the wall of the gym this morning with this quote. I like it and thought it was appropriate to post here. Y'all are a class act in my book and have surpassed the integrity of those who criticize you.

How are you showing appreciation with that post?
Second that maryannette.I don't know how someone can enjoy the freedom and safety our troops supply and then question how they do it.Unless you wore an uniform before and served far away from home I suggest shut the hell up.

UT,
I doubt that guy even wore a little league baseball uniform so take for what it worths. He was already disciplined and we should not worry about him anymore.
Poetic Justice: Sapper put the bann hammer on him.

Guys,
[That's gender neutral and include gals as well!]
If you'd like to show appreciation, why not do so with support? I'm sure Sapper could come up with a short list of things he or his troops could use. Don't necessarily believe some of the lists you find on the net.
Don't get me wrong... words of encouragement are great. But we all have the ability to make life a little bit better for our troops serving in harms way.

That's kind of funny to me. When we were in Somalia, we had nothing but Twizzlers. It was like all that whoever made that candy made and they shipped it over.SapperPE said:
We even brought them home on our vehicles to pass out to the local schools because everyone was sick of them by that time.

Sapper,
Any additions to your list of needs and/or is the address still the same? Wife and I want to send you guys a care package (no playing cards or porn, I promise).

Sapper,
A friend of mine suggested sending over flea collars to put around your boots to keep the sand fleas away... any truth in that?
