Thank you to you all, and to all who have served. I individually have not served (physically unable following a motor vehicle accident at 17 yrs old) I appreciate all who have, and support them in any way I possibly can. If it weren't for the selfless acts of those individuals yesterday, we could not have the freedoms of today.

THANK YOU to all

Its ok, the army wouldn't take me when I was 20 due to the fact I was about 215 at the time, and said I should weigh 180. I don't understand why, as my body build would not allow me to be 180 unless I was starved and looking like a scarecrow. I would have liked to serve though. But I guess that wasn't in the plans.

Those who did serve though, great job.

Thats the old BMI, the only system in the world that qualifies body builders as being out of shape and lazy... The CF droped it in the 80's because to many of our athlete's were getting punished for being "over weight" I mean who has ever heard of an overweight athlete?
