[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 647672, member: 60724"] Thanks, we all need to remember to support and respect our men and women in uniform. And, I will probably get some crap for what I am about to say, but... I just wish there were more reminders that truly focused on the good the men and women do instead of some like this that are divisive, even if subtly so, as they compare and contrast those that do and those that don't serve. Yes, serving is a noble task, but people who don't serve shouldn't be made to feel guilty and I can't help but feel that comparisons like this are meant in some small way to make those that don't serve feel humbled. I never meant a service person who wanted to be revered ...respected yes, but not revered.(yes, I know they are different levels of the same thing…please don’t wordsmith me). I'm reminded of the "Kick Their Ass" military memo joke that floated around here twice and debated both times. We are all Americans, all doing our own jobs. Things that compare and contrast or create or further "us vs. them" attitudes aren't helpful, IMHO. Hey, I never served, maybe I am just projecting. Still, thanks for all that do and the reminder to respect them! TJR [/QUOTE]
