bbarnhouse 0 #1 June 4, 2005 Our LouDiamond is returning today after eight months of service in Afghanistan. I personally wish to thank Lou for his service and sacrifice. Those of us that understand his commitment and dedication realize that freedom isn’t free. It is purchased with the blood of men and women such as he, and with the tears of family and friends of the fallen. To the families and friends that have loved ones serving in foreign lands, we know you have sacrificed much. A wish goes out for the safe return of your soldier. My hope is that you may know the same joy that we are experiencing today, as one of our own is returned to us. To the men and women in uniform; I salute the divine within you and Godspeed. Thank you for serving. It is because you serve that we enjoy our freedom. My hero wears a Green Beret…Thank you Lou, and welcome home!

gmanpilot 0 #10 June 4, 2005 QuoteThanks! and to everyone who enjoys their freedom, we owe him! An understatement indeed. An enlisted mid-grade/mid-career, extensively trained soldier serving in Afganistan or Iraq will earn 50K/yr at best. My skills are rusty and I'm older and slower; yet I can get a job paying 170K-300K/yr (tax free) as a contractor working and living along side these guys. Our soldiers deserve better._________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
