<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2>And just yesterday while waiting
in grocery line a lady saw my cap and said she had to come up and thank
me. First time that has happened to me since getting out in '72. Was a
decent experience and glad those are now in the majority from what I hear. The
media can give us the bias of feeling ignored or spit on for serving. Very nice
to see the welcome change. Proud to have served and would be glad to serve
again if they would take me. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wanted to say "Thank You" for all of the
sentiments for those who serve or have served. I find it very heart
warming when people of this great country express their gratitude for those
who server their country. I've served in the Air Force for the last 16
years and have always felt it was a way of life, not just a "job" or
"adventure". I usually shy away from the compliment because I've
always felt it is a way of life for me and therefore, one that doesn't need to
be thanked. I know that is not true, but for me being in the military,
it is natural, so no acknowledgement is needed. However, it does make my day
when people do acknowledge what we stand for. Not metaphorically, but
there on the front line. Thank You.</FONT></DIV>
