For those who served and died for our country, memory eternal!
For those who still serve, may God bless you and His angels guard you!

And with the political exploitation of their sacrifice by the left, with the claims of "support the troops - bring them home" by people who never supported the troops, with the same logic from the same people that gave us the bloodbath in Southeast Asia and want it to happen again in the Middle East, a old bit of Kipling seems appropriate:

"You talk o' better food for us, an' schools an' fires an' all
But we'd wait for extry rations if you treat us rational
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace..."

...An Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool - you bet that Tommy sees."
