As a veteran, I appreciate the recognition on this holiday, but I want to acknowledge the unsung heros, the soldier's family. We as soldiers are trained emotionally and mentally, ready to put this training to work for our country. Our families are not. They wait at home, praying. Knowing that my wife was waiting kept me going. Today, I salute her and all of the other soldiers families. ~ Dewey Polf, Viet Nam
