<DIV>My Father fought from New Guinea to Japan from 1943 until 1945, and my brother and I have both served in the Air Force. </DIV>
<DIV>I have two nephews and one niece serving in Iraq. My nephews are Air Force and my niece is a surgical nurse in the Air Force. She did 22, yes 22, surgeries in 24 hours because of Fallujah, her email was titled "Fallujah Sucks".</DIV>
<DIV>What a difference 25 years makes, when I was serving, I was accused of "napalming babies" and spit on. Now the priest gives me and other vets a special blessing in Church the Sunday before Veterans Day.</DIV>
<DIV>I served to show my appreciation for this great country and I salute the Armed Forces that are serving now and have served. Thank you Veterans!</DIV>
