What is the biggest thing you have ever done on behalf of this great Nation?

Yes, as this is just a spin from a combat Marine that served our country during the Viet Nam War and was shot thru the brain and ended up with ONE THIRD OF BRAIN GONE!/ Paralyzed on one side. Lets just hope he doesn't become our next Commander in Chief, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE FACT HE HAS IN the past REFUSED TO PUT HIS HAND OVER HIS CHEST TO SALUTE a flag, that I can recall waking up in Japan to see my marines had put OUR RED WHITE AND BLUE BACK UP..Look for the battle for Hue

then THINK .....

Update:

A point of clarification my second note was really addressed to someones open comment...

Update 2:

oh.. btw.. don't think you are old enough to of taught my kids .. esp. in light of the fact they both are already teachers...

    The biggest thing i have ever done on the behlf of this nation is first and foremost serving as a loyal army wife to my own personal hero through 2 deployments to iraq. Honestly- dealing with the distance during war time is the hardest thing i have ever done.

    I also work for Troy Univeristy (located at every military base) and work hard enrolling our service men and women into classes to further their education. I help process their paperwork for free tuition.

    I served 23 year years in the Navy with honor. I have 2 children now serving in the Navy. But I don't find it necessary to bash people and take things out of context just so I can compain about it. Thank you for your service to our country, whether voluntary or not. It's people like you that give us this freedom of speech as a right.

    Served in the Navy.

    Military personnel protect our FREEDOM. Our citizens can carry on their daily lives in a safe and secure manner ONLY with protection from others in this world.

    It is TOO BAD our military is taken for "granted". Those that do not support our military DO NOT realize how different their lives would be without it.
