I’ve noticed on my hit counter that I’m getting a fair number of hits from military domains, notably navy & centcom. Now, I know “Semper Fi” is a Marine Corps. thing, but I just wanted to thanks to all you guys for your service. Besides the wife in the family we stayed with in San Antonio (my girlfriend’s aunt by marriage), who is in the Army, I don’t personally know anyone in the Service. I do, however, appreciate every last Soldier and Officer who signs up for duty knowing that he (or she) may be called to give his life to defend mine. Whether you’re on base here in the States, or on duty anywhere in the world – Thanks!

Take advantage of the comments and let us know who you are and where you’re stationed, and when you expect to return home. If you’re stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan, or any other combat zone (we ARE still in Bosnia and Kosovo, among other places after all), let us know if we can send you a care package, what you want the most (I know junk food is very popular) and where to send it. Of course, I don’t want you to give any information that could compromise your security though.
