To All of SBR

[Semper Fidelis]

Just finished watching the video on ESPN of all the troops coming home, and can't help but tear up. I've seen it countless times, but it doesn't matter, shit always gets to me. I'll never forget that feeling of coming home from Iraq in 2007, that joy of making it home mixed with the sadness of my fellow brothers who didn't make it back with us. I'm honored and humbled to have served (still currently in the drilling reserves actually), and will never forget those I was forced to bury with a heavy heart, those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. It is a great feeling knowing that our great country (and servicemen in other countries like our Aussie boy Sando) is full of the type of people that show appreciation and gratitude for our sacrifices. You may not have served, but you served us by giving us that support, and we thank you. Sorry about the rant guys, just wanted to say thanks to all of the vets on this forum and thanks to all of the posters who regularly contribute plays here to helps us all destroy our bookies! God bless you all, and may we continue to help each other withdraw from the bookies!!! Cheers!!!

Thank you to all the veterans who serve the country proudly...a lot of vets are forgotten once their tour of duty is done IMO

[mikejamm]

Thanks for your service to our country Sgt. Dan. None of our heroes are never to be forgotten. The ones who made it home to their families and as you stated, our fallen brothers who did not.

[Semper Fidelis]

semp when were you in

Been in since 2006 Dawg, spent little over 2 years on active duty and have been in the reserves ever since. Jan will be 8 years in the Corps. I've been up for reenlistment for several months now, just haven't decided what to do-will probably just do an extension for now at least to give me more time to decide lol. Hell before I know it it'll be 10 years, and that's already halfway to retirement, so I'll probably end up staying in anyway lol.
Thanks for the kind words everyone!

[firedawg]

ahhh. I got out in 97..... gl today semper

[Semper Fidelis]

Thanks for your service brother, and Semper Fi!!! Good luck on your plays as well-who do you like today buddy? I tell you one thing I really like our Dawgs this weekend at Auburn. Seems like the perfect trap game for Auburn, and we're certainly good enough to pull it off, even without all our injured players. Will be at the game with the wife and her family (they live in Auburn, all huge Tiger fans lol). Don't know if I have the balls to actually bet on them though, I always feel like I jinx my teams or something when I take them lol.

The sad part is all the men and women who have died for this country, yet socialism is still going to take over.

Good stuff guys! Got out in the late 80's, which make me an old Phuck compared to you guys! Just did my 4 and reserves over off Windy Hill I think it was. Thanks for your service! Semper Fi!
