I would like to give a shout out to my brother Anthony who is stationed at Ft. Hood, serving our nation as a member of the US Army Signal Corp. My brother returned from a year deployment to Afghanistan a few months ago.
To my dear younger brother who is not only a 'brother' by blood, but also my brother in Christ and one of my best friends: I love you very much and thank you for your service to our nation. Of the two of us, you were the one who became a real life 'Joe.'
Love your brother,
George

I'm at an student convention event in Missouri this week and there is a soldier walking around the campus.
My fellow students have been swarming him thanking him for his service. Always good to see others that are thankful.

Love to my Grandfather who participated in the Battle of the Bulge, my Father who served in the U.S. Navy in Vietnam, and my Brother who upheld freedom through peacekeeping in Macedonia with the U.S. Army.
God saw them all through safely.
My everlasting respect for all good people who died or lost loved ones in war.
