As an American Air Force Special Ops NCO stationed in England, and spending
much time away from my family "visiting other lands', I also, whole-heartedly
agree.
And to those (not allowed to say politicians since I'm in the military) who
do not share our points of few, I can only reply - I may not agree with what
you say, think or believe, but I and all the US Servicemen and women, will
protect, to the death, your freedom and the freedom of those who you
represent, to say, think and believe what you want.
I stand beside you Mr. Houston and JF. And, if need be, will stand in front.

USAF and damn proud of it.
