Not everyone in war makes the bonds of brotherhood the writers talk about.
GW1 & GW2 Marine?
Props my brotha.

Most people do not take the time to thank guys like you.
Thank you for what?
Your courage to defend the blessings of life and liberty here in the United States. Don't know you, never met you, but because you put YOUR life at risk for the call of duty, I SALUTE YOU. I was too much of a pussy to ever join the Armed Forces, so I stuck to school. I am in graduate school right now with 21 more months to go. When I am finally done, people will refer to me as a Doctor. However, that is a title that will NEVER hold a candle to the fact that someone once called you a SOLDIER.
So please, Marine2007, accept this short prose as the deepest and sincerest thanks that the world may or may not have ever given you. We owe it to you, I owe it too you. And most of all, thank you for defending my freedom. Without guys like you, while there are many but few, I would never have gotten the chance to go to school in the first place. I toast my glass to you, as well as the many, many others serving this beautiful country.
GOD BLESS YOU!!
