Dad Fisherman that is a great story -- I hope to teach my 3 boys the same lesson as they grow.

I am as guilty as anyone in not doing it enough, but each & every soldier who served our Great Nation in any capacity in the Armed Forces deserves a great deal of thanks. You all gave in some way to build what we have now.

When I read "We Were Soldiers Once...And Young", and every time I watch that movie, I get chills; not just because of what is on the movie screen but because of the realization that what is on the screen is actually what those men encountered in the Ia Drang Valley, and what thousands & thousands of others endured in all of our Nation's other involvements, including Iraq -- all for our sake.

Each one deserves great thanks. God bless you all...
