[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 537365, member: 1664"] A simple "Thank you" is not enough, but, I have no better way to express my pride and gratitude for all that have been willing to serve. My ancestors served in the Revolutionary War and in every war since then. Tomorrow, I am going to open a very special bottle of wine. It was given to me by a friend several years ago who was shot down in a B17 over Germany in WWII. He was a POW for almost a year and weighed 106lbs when he was released. I joked with him one day, as I was delivering some Omaha steaks to him, and asked if he ever thought, while he was a captive, that someone would be delivering prime beef to his front door. His response was, "Hell Steve, I would have been thrilled to have a chicken bone to suck on back then." He passed away last year. I will toast him and all who have been willing to serve. Past, present and future. I Thank each and everyone of you. [/QUOTE]
