Jack,
My brother and I along with all Marines would thank your dad profusely. Marines hold their Corpsmen in very high regard. If he is still alive please tell him Semper Fi from us and also a heartfelt thank you.
I agree with you about reinstituting the draft. So many Americans these days are just out to lunch with regard to our military. At times I want to shout out to young people and some adults, Come on people. We are at war. Of course they wouldn't listen or even care for the most part. They are too busy going about listening to their MP3 players or partying. I mean no disrespect to those people who do take it seriously, our freedom and safety that is. A draft would at least let people see that the military is real and is needed in America not just now but for future generations as well.
Dennis
