I was priviledged to serve with the Marines for 27 years. I am a Nam vet, and my son lost his eye in Iraq last year. We both know several Marines who gave the ultimate sacrifice. After you face death and escape, the rest is rather paltry and tame by comparason. I am a combat vet, but I still feel like I owe these young professionals a lot of respect.
