Yep. Served at Ft. Campbell and still keep in touch with several active duty soldiers. Nobody on the "friends" list yet, but people I knew....

Damn shame.

I've got a cousin over in Iraq right now. He's been there for a while but thankfully isn't out there doing patrolls so he's "resonably" safe...

Even though I don't come from much of a military family, I still have great respect for those willing to risk their lives for our country. Especially in a war that not everyone believes in like this one.
