"I can think of no more rewarding career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhil, I think he can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the United States Navy'" --John F. Kennedy, 1963

Just got back from being in Baghdad for a year this March as a Contractor.

There are many who do not know how lucky they were just to be born in America. There are alot of People who think that the Freedom's and Right's they take for granted didn't come with a Price, it's just automatic. Spend a year in Iran or Saudi Arabia or Russia or North Korea or any of countless other Countries around the World.
My prayers are with you and your Sons and Daughters.

Glad I could serve this great country!!
US Navy Aviation 1982-1986

I'm just glad I can serve a great country that produces some real great people and great cars like the Corvette.
Thanks to all veterans and especially those that didn't come home. Never forget their sacrifice.
