Our son Dave earned the Medal of Military Valour for saving about 25 of our guy's lives. A couple of years ago a new, young officer started getting pretty officious in wanting the guys to sign their names to everything they did. Dave started adding the MMV CD to the end of his name. He has the right to do that. The young officer backed off, especially with Dave. I guess you EARNED that medal and this guy knew that he was dealing with someone a lot tougher than the average soldier. If you think you are tough, try climbing out of a LAV with the bullets and RPGs coming at you while you unjam the main gun. A lot of guys, including one from right here in the village also earned that medal.....posthumously. Keep all of them over there and all of us over here and let them have at it all they want. It's all they know. When we aren't there they just fight amongst themselves. It's just the way they are and we can't change that. Hate is all they know.
Allflash, Bluenoser and some others on here know what families go through and a person doesn't sleep very well when our lads were over there.
