I was just going for the wars that family members served in. I couldn't remember if Grandpa B served. I remember Scherrol telling me about him being in the Marshall Islands at some point, and I know that was a big missle testing area, but I didn't know his reasons for being there.

My time as an Air Force wife started with the Vietnam tour, but he was already dyed-in-the-wool career military by that time.

We have the freedom to participate in a Ponzi scheme known as Social Security. We have the freedom to vote for the president. Unlike the voters of Iraq under Saddam Hussein, who only had one choice for president, we have two choices! We have the freedom to choose between Republican-led big government programs and Democrat-led big government programs. We have the freedom to use government-controlled money, which loses value every year. We have the freedom to subsidize the poltically-connected agricultural, automotive, and banking industries. We have the freedom of sending children through the compusory government-run education system, and then pay for job training for those that get through 12 years of schooling and still don't know how to do anything. We have the freedom to own guns, provided that said gun is approved by the government and we pass the government-mandated background check. If we get the appropriate permits and stand in then proper free-speech zone, we have the freedom to protest. Thanks to all the veterans that defended these freedoms and kept them from being taken away! http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/023944.html In America, we enjoy the freedom of giving half our income to the government through various forms of taxes.
