Tonight I was talking to an old friend who has now been in the Marines for several years and it has made me realize how I have under appreciated these people in the past. So I told him thanks for everything he is doing. On top of that I made a resolution with myself, recognize these individuals who are fighting for our country more.
I'd like to thank everyone on these forums that are in the armed forces for fighting for America.
What resolutions have you guys thought of/made?

Weakling lol.
Well their is an upside and downside to having a high tolerance. And no I'm not Irish.
The upside you can win many drinking games. You can drink alot and still work your magic since certain areas seem to taste better ;P The downside it takes alot longer to get drunk and ends up costing more.

Alpine, I hope you didnt take it the wrong way. Thank you for your appreciation. Really. No sarcasm, no joking, no nothing but thank you for the recognition. Bob and I come from an era when the military was little more than a necessary evil that was money hungry and prestige lacking. So this emergence of esteem for the military is...how can I put this? disarming. Do I say "thank you" for being thanked or do I say "you're welcome", which comes out sounding something like "yeah, I know, and it's about time you realize ALL the sacrifice and hardship I endure for this decent pay and excellent benefits packages I receive"? It's very difficult to describe, and the only way I can respond is: Thank You and, my dear man, You Are Welcome.
Again, no sarcasm. No joking. No intent to belittle or humiliate. At all. Just pure and simple humility, I hope.
