    Thank you for the reminder. I try to say thank you to the members of the military whenever possible. Spending some time at O'Hare and downtown Chicago, (aka The City), it happens pretty often. Some of you would be shocked how many sailors spend time at the Museum of Science and Industry, the Art Institute, and The Field Museum. Not all of them are catting around.

    Whenever I find myself in a restaurant with a member of the military, I always pick up their check, without hesitation. It's the least I can do for all they do.

    Do you do the same with police and firefighters? You should.

    I try to talk to every soldier in uniform. I want to know the truth about the war.
    A chance for a new beginning, like a dawn of reconciliation.

    do you respect them for their service, and do you thank them for it?

    do you accept their answers even if you dont like/agree with them?

    I thank firefighters but I don't give a shit about police, especially state cops.
    No matter where I've traveled or how great the trip was, it's always wonderful to return to my country, The United States of America......... me

    with all due respect, I think you suck for that. Police are just as important as firefighters, they are their to serve and protect YOU.

    A typically misguided response. Get back to me the next time some miscreant breaks into your home and shoots one of your kids.
