[Bullitt]

Definite thank you to those who have served and are currently serving. I know 5 people, a couple close friends, who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan post 9/11 and I'm always glad to hear they've come home safe. A couple of these guys have been in positions that take some serious guts to be in. One is an Army .50cal gunner in an M1 tank platoon on his second tour getting sniped at. The other is a Marine MP who pulled convoy escort duty early in the Iraq war and then a second tour right after with a newborn baby back in the states. He didn't talk much about his convoy ambush battles, but he did show me a shrapnel scar and hinted that he ran out of ammunition at one point and had to use his knife on a guy... The things these guys get put through that we rarely hear about astounds me and I really hope Code Pink keeps their damn mouths shut tomorrow out of respect for these men and women.
