    Exclamation Take a moment, would you please ...

    Would you please set aside for a moment whether you think they should be there, or not ... and have some thoughts for those that are not here, enjoying the weekend, families, friends, the loved & cherished , and yes, even diving .. we are ... and they are not

    ... Take a moment would you, to watch this, and be moved ... Until Then

    My wife's ship pulled out of Japan today...well tomorrow.. I'm ready for her to be back(been out 3 months). She is relatively safe compared to others...but every time I go a day without e-mail(I don't know how people do it with just letters..only contact is every 3 weeks?) my heart skips a beat and I'll search CNN to see what's happening in Asia.... People that have family in action, it's got to be 10x as hard....

    [edit] finally got the video to load....got to the point of solders comming home...and my screen saver kicked in (which is a slide show of me and my wife)...sigh...

    Thanks for sharing --

    If you can’t be a good example, then you’ll just have to be a terrible warning.

    Very moving indeed...... I have two nephews in the Marines. They truly love their jobs and are proud to serve. We are all quite proud of them as well. However, I don't think I could handle the stress and worry the spouses go through. The wives and husbands that stay here. They too, have the heart and strength of a soldier....I can't even imagine it

    When the rain is blowin' in your face, and the whole world is on your case, I would offer you a warm embrace, to make you feel my love. When evening shadows and the stars appear, and there is no one to dry your tears, I could hold you for a million years, to make you feel my love.

    Just wanted to put this out there once again, although we should think of them always, now must be a particularly hard time to be away from those they love, and love them .. think of them
