22 yrs in the Marine Corps and still serving. My wife has 20 and is still serving. My brother is currently a mobilized Army Reserve member, serving as a Civil Affairs Officer 25 miles north of Baghdad. My father-in-law served for 27 yrs in the Marine Corps (twice in Vietnam) and my brother-in-law served for 20 years in the Air Force. I want the American people to believe that they are part of the fight and why “we” fight as a Nation. “We” were attacked, not just those in the Twin Towers or those that were in the Pentagon. If ‘we” fail to recognize that “we” are in this together, “we” shall surely fail.
