I don't have any close relatives in the service besides one cousin in the Navy, but one of my grandpas (who died a few years before I was born) was Austrian and forced to fight for Germany in WW1. Talk about a world of shit. All soldiers and veterans have my respect and support.

I'll just post some in active duty:

Staff Sgt. Jacob Kidd--U.S Army 101st Airborne--Sniper Specialist
Sgt. Chris Benoit--U.S Marines--Green Beret special forces

Both of them are family friends, please keep them in your prayers.

Have a great weekend guys!!!

Thru the cookouts just lift up a prayer for those serving. I have a couple in our church who's serving in Iraq...

Roger that, Sureal. Although I've been over and may go again in 2 years, those who have given their all are to be remembered with a prayer from everyone who appreciates what we have here.

Sureal, Reps to you, this is a great thread.

I have followed both of my grandfathers and two of my uncles into the military. God bless the one's in harms way as we speak.
