[OP-archer]

United States Navy 1973-1986.  Served onboard Frigets & Destroyers.  Oldest son USMC (Force Recon), youngest son USA (Special Operator).  I can trace me military roots to the Revolutionary War.  To my knowleddge, there has never been a generation which did not have one of my relatives serving.  My service has cost me my health. My youngest son was killed in Afghanistan.  But freedom is never free and the memorials and monuments throughout our country are built on the blood and sacrifice of our service men.  God Bless America.
