| Some of you fought in wars that were both before my time and alot more popular than the one which
 raged through the years of my childhood, youth and
 young adulthood. Others of you were already busy
 fighting during this time, hoping to make a difference or
 loving your country enough to obey without question.
 Whether defending our freedom here directly or through
 defending the freedom of those less fortunate in distant
 lands, you still fought for the principal in your hearts,
 that help give me the opportunity to have that childhood
 and youth unshadowed by the worries  known by many
 of those you fought to help over seas. Still others of you
 shared the same time span of childhood with me, or were
 only a couple of years older, but YOUR life would be
 abruptly changed and forever altered by what you were
 called upon to do. This page is dedicated with the deepest
 love and gratitude to all of you for all you have given.
