Honor

In another time, I was where you are.

Different political climate, different ROE, different doctrine. I was there, many of us were there.

Many of us wish we could be there with you now, imparting knowledge that maybe you do not have; covering a sector that got over looked; aquiring; engaging; keeping you safe.

We cannot, for our time is passed and all we have are the memories and hope that we were as good then as you are now. We cry for you in the dark, when no one is around. Our hearts are with you. Our souls are with you. Your Shoulder Sleeve Insignia is our Shoulder Sleeve Insignia. You have the better gear though, and those new ACU's aren't bad either.

We miss you and support you, regardless of politics. People will look back with pride at having known you, regardless of their politics.

Politics don't exist where you are. Grimy, sweaty, tired, lonely, scared. Drive on with the knowledge that you are ours and we are yours, and that we support you, without question.

Your fight is not in vain.

Cover your ass and come home safe.
