You beat me to it!  I was just going to post similarly.  I was kicked to the curb by the Marines over 20 years ago - bad feet, tried to hide it, but they were only really taking the best candidates.  It probably worked out for the best.  I have a great many friends that are serving, or served.  To them, a hearty thank you.

If anyone is ever interested in a great cause, Google "Heroes on the Water."  A great cause, these guys sacrifices are very compelling.

Don't want to steal the thread but any active service man or woman will always get a free beer and a burger in my bar.....

I have the utmost respect for you ALL...

J you are right, that is a great organization and I have donated my boat to a few events and will continue to do so....
