an awful lot that we shouldn't forget.

He certainly deserves that honor. Once a Marine always a Marine. I heard a General on the Radio last night, "We are a family." Be sure to say to your nephew, Thank you! ;)

Again a big thank you. That is a duty of great honor. He must be a very good at his job to be assigned to guard Air Force One. Has he ever had a ride on Air Force One? I got to see Air Force One up close just once, It was while I was on active duty at Offutt AFB in Nebraska. It was while President Ford was on a campaign trip.

I intend to honor the Veterans (or in the local dialect, "ve-trins" :D) by playing some Medal of Honor and Call of Duty. and maybe some Halo, can't ignore the future vets ;)

I like to honor them by saying thank you whenever I have a chance. Do the same with the Police.

I wear an American Flag lapel pin every day to honor them and our country. Actually started it after 9/11.
