R.i.p
Tomorrow marks the 3 year Anniversary of the death of one of the best people I've ever had the honor of serving with. Next beers for you CPL. Lane. Your sacrifice won't be forgotten....
Sorry I know this isn't reptile related, just needed to vent...

No need to thank me, I think every other vet will agree, the reason we do what we do is so no one else HAS to.

Agreed. We know the risks but wouldn't have it any other way. Someone has got to be down range

Re: R.i.p
I had my family over tonight and I started a toast to all that fighted in the army
(all army's) and for the time they served and for the sacrifices they took because of this thread. I am very sorry for the loss of your friend.
Edit: Even though I am 14, so it was just Pepsi, but still thought is there.
