#1 Don't forget to thank the Guard and Reserve folks that backed those Marines up. The Army Reserve Combat Engineer unit where I was once a member lost several folks supporting in Anbar (looking for ied's, found them). The combat engineer is in front of the infantry so they can get to the battle. And the Air Guard unit I belonged to at a later date flew those A-10's everyone likes so much. (OK; I kind of mixed the services a bit but I am proud of the folks I served with and their kid's who were there when 9/11 popped)(Yup; I'm prejudiced).

#2 Thanks, Tipover, for your service and for reminding us that it isn't just the Marines who are protecting us. All of our armed service personnel have a job to do that fits into the most incredible fighting force ever.
