I'd like to echo all of this.
Some specific Mentions
My mother, who spent her time in the USAF watching the radar scopes
My cousin Dennis Boley, Currently NHRA Divisional tech inspector and Racecar driver, but Formerly Navy.
My Grandfather 25 year Army Veteran. Passed on a few years ago, but he lived just long enough to see his first Great Grandchild(my oldest son), not for his second(my youngest son)
My cousin Gail Davis, who died in Vietnam at LZ Xray, in IA DRANG. Think of the movie We Were Soldiers. He died day 2 of that hell.
To every service member who gave all they had just one time.
