Since this post has appeared I have had dozens of Soilders and Veterans contact me expressing sincere thanks for what I wrote. I need no thank you. To all you "Vets" and Soilders...Thank you! You are the real heros and I'm damn proud that we have you on our side!

God Bless, Peter Iacavazzi

Thanks Pete, for sharing this story.

It's pretty hard for the "average citizen" to comprehend what it takes to do the job our servicemen and women do everyday. We sit in air-conditioning on our leather sofa being "anesthetized" by the double speak of the left leaning media. Some are glad to have someone give them their opinion but not true thinkers and true believers.

Thanks for spreading  the truth.

Thanks to anyone who “stands in the gap “.

I work as a defensive tactics and close quarter combat instructor I've had the great honor of working extensively with the Navy SEALs, Delta Teams and Marine Recon Squads. These men are the cream of the crop. They are what is best not only in the armed forces but perhaps what is best in all of us. Everytime I train with a soilder what impresses me the most is how they always protect, support and sacrifice for each other. There is a sense of loyalty and love that is refrshing and admirable. To know what they endure and to understand what they face would cripple most. After every training I stand in awe of these men. I am honored to be on a training mat with them!

Thanks Steve! I'm honored to work with "our" fighting men. Be proud of your son (as I know you are!) To serve and protect others is what our soilders do selflessly and valiantly. Tell Dustin thank you from me!

Keep the faith, Peter

A big Hoo uhh man. That letter should be a big kick in the pants especialy to the one's who have started, or have forgotten that faithful day in Sept,2001. I for one will never forget or forgive.  Those people came here looking for a fight and brother they got one. Our brave soldiers answered the call, some gave the ultimate gift of freedom. And are doing so with bravery everyday.
