Special Section for you to enjoy...    Major Jeff is 1st Recon, (center, front row. on left,                                                     and middle in RARE VIEW)               Hope he thinks that I was good to him when he was little.

" Dad, We resent being referred to as 'Sending our            kids to war.'   We are highly trained professionals,            who serve and protect our country	Training that surpasses all understanding of the average citizen.                    US Marine Corps training beach assault "And this old guy was ahead of us all the way ... with a camera!" I'm asked constantly why I let two of my sons become Marines. My answer is simply. "It takes two Marines to whip a Sailor."                                                                        (of  course,  then there is protection in old age)     Retired Navy Photographer Dad

The Real Thing...Leaving for Iraq.              

 "Dad, we fight to protect our country, our countries values, 

and we do it there, so we won't have to at home.  I am so

glad that I don't have to guess at your support for what

I am doing.  I am so glad that you don't give me that crap

 about supporting the troops, but not the war.  You know

that's a slap in the face to we, who are serving our

Commander and Chief and our country. Dad, your

'total support' helps me maintain my confidence and

ability to protect myself and excel in my job."

I saw a license plate frame that said,

"Enjoying your freedom?...YOUR WELCOME."
