re: #50 Shiplord Kirel

Thank you for your service to our great country..The other day I was hanging at the Lodge having a beer with a few old Vietnam Vets..Great guys that I enjoy talking with.
I have mad respect for those that have fought on the battlefield for our freedoms.
It has been my great fortune to have know so many Veterans. All you Men and Woman of the Armed Services make me proud.
I am raptured by the stories told to me over the years. Some have that moved me to tears or to howling laughter..
The ones that make your blood boil in anger at mankind and his politic..The Ironic twists of fate.. all the stories of victory and tales of defeat..Of great fortunes achieved and devastating loss of friends and family suffered..
