I just wanted to say Thanks!

[ST082]

I just wanted to say thank you and god bless all the operators, families and those "behind the scenes" personel that help the SEALs achieve their goals and missions. I have a friend in Team 6 and often ask his brother in law how he's doing. He has received an award recently for a very heroic mission. (I'll leave it at that...not sure how much I should say)....I find it to be a real honor to be a member of this site and have some of the fee contribute to the SEAL community and their families. I wish I could contribute more as a civilian finacially or otherwise. So again, my thoughts and prayers are with you all and thanks again for all you do for this country and our friends and allies around the world, often times being the unsung hero's behind the scene's that don't recieve the credit you so richly deserve!

Good afternoon all (from the East Coast). This is my first post, as I have just opened a new (first) subscription to the Drop Zone a few minutes ago. My beloved son arrived in Coronado yesterday, to begin Indoc in April. He is excited and eager, and I could not be more proud, as certainly all of you fine persons are, also. This is all a new world to me, never having had the honor of serving my country in military. I look forward to communicating with other BUD/S family persons in the future. May God bless these fine young men!

He will forever be in MY HEART AND PRAYERS, I PROMISE YOU THAT. I wish I could personally do more. "IMPORTANT AMERICANS" are those behind the lines, not these politican/lawyers. My friend was part of the team who rescued Jessica Lynch......I can't stop bragging about him. BTW, thanks to the RANGERS for providing perimeter security during that mission and ALL the times you cordinated with the SEALs....I know you all work together. I have (3) Navy SEAL T-Shirts, hats, tapes, Sweatshirts excetera......... I support you all and your families. I wish my purchases would do more. It's you, the true PATRIOTS OF AMERICA that keep us safe and we LOVE you for that. You are the BEST of the BEST. You have a God given gift and thank God that you realized it!. We will forever stand with you guys out there. The Stars and Stripes will forever fly because of men like you! Words don't describe the feeling I get when speaking of the SEAL's and the UNBELIEVABLE women they are lucky enough to call wives. It takers a woman just as a special to be a wife to a man on call 24/7 for our counrty. Thank You.....Thank You so much from the bottom of my heart! PLEASE do not hesitate to contact me if you ever need ANYTHING. A friend, a shoulder to lean on, a person to finacially help you, babysitter, whatever....ANYTHING. I'd give you all the shirt off my back. I write this with tears in my eyes remembering all those we have lost. I've lost family and friends through war and I 've also found hero's like my bosses' cousin 1St Sgt. Brad Kasal who helped clear Falluja and is now up for the Medal of Honor. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.keystonemarines.com/images/articles/20050204102002590_1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.keystonemarines.com/article.php%3Fstory%3D20050204102002590&h=256&w=395&sz=36&tbnid=tL8nViIhmrMJ:&tbnh=77&tbnw=120&hl=en&start=79&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dkasal%26start%3D60%26svnum%3D10%26hl% 3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN
Your sacrifices will never be forgotten... THANK YOU FROM ALL THE TRUE PATRIOTS WHOM LOVE AMERICA! There are no Democrats or Republicans when it comes to you guys.......just Patriots........God Bless and God Speed.

Greetings from Australia ELEMENT.......well I'm from Philly, but visiting this beautiful country currently. Are you/were you an operator? I had a chance at 24, but didn't follow through for a few reasons. One being they wouldn'y sign me up for BUDs in my contract and said "it could be years before I had the chance to tryout???" I never wanted to be a sialor,, just a SEAL. Looking back I should've forced their hands actualyy. I find myself bragging about the SEALs non-stop. I'm so pround of my friend and my friends that are "devil dogs" as well. My father was an MP with the Air Force in the 60's and recently retired as Chief of Police locally in PA. I find myself proud as hell of him and anyone who does a job that requires them to put it "all" on the line daily.
