I have a cousin who is XO on a nuclear submarine. He can't tell me if he was involved, but I do know cruise missles were launched from them. I have another who is a major in charge of a squadron of Apache's who served our country proudly and well there.
I have many former students who are now graduated and are good friends with me that serve in the Navy, Army, and Marines. (I don't know of any in the Air Force or Coast Guard). I keep in contact with them through emails.
They serve in the armed services proudly knowing that they are taking part in finally taking the war to the terrorists instead of waiting for them to strike here in America. They know it can still happen here, but they feel the more we win over there, the less it may happen here.
