 In your travels over the holidays whether it's at the airport or wearever.

If you happen to see a soldier, especially if they're wearing one of these (or both) please don't forget to say thanks. Also wish them a happy and safe holiday.

This goes for all branches of services.

 Interesting story for you!!!

 

About six months ago, I was having lunch with a client and there was 8 service men and 1 service lady having lunch. After I was done eating I went up and thanked each and every one of them and bought there lunch. I felt it was the least I could do, for what they do for me, and my opinion of the majority of them I still feel the same way. But I can honestly tell you, that after this last 8 days of working with them, I think the military has been so degraded, that they will take anyone "including the lowest form of life. It really bugs me that the next generation of soldiers are this challenged!

 I think Ron nailed it, i been around our military all my life and i will not train with anybody under 35 and the Private Security and Secret Service will not except anyone under that age and prefer men in there 40s and up and beyond 60s and 70s if in shape.because a guy in his 40s is battle hardened, but anyway my hats off to these kids.....This is Metal..............

 I agree, most of the stupidest people I've ever known, I met in the Army.
