From WWII veterans, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and beyond. I salute you all, my dear friends. I'll see you on the other side one day. Amen

Photo: Our staff at 5th Air Force in Tokyo, Japan. (1990) One day we will all gather. One day we will all share. One day we will find out what really matters. Until that day, come what may. I salute you for your service every day. Some have fought in Korea and WW 2. Others in Viet Nam and that Mideast Zoo! I recall when we went fishing down in the sea I remember when things were peaceful Those were great times for you and for me War has casualties and I'm sad you were one Still, I will never forget the times we had fun! Amen, Amen, my dear friends! Amen x 110! John Michael Domino, Major, (ret) USAF

I, a believer in reincarnation, thinks not of that Heaveningly place as so many do. But as far as the veterans are concerned, John, I absolutely do thank them for their courage and loyalty.

I believe what really matters is how you dealt with your life rather than expecting some reckoning in the future. It's a good thing to serve and save people's lives. It's another to serve and kill people that are not really as willing to go to war as we are.

Thank you to all who have served, or are currently serving. I hope the day will come when peace rules our world, and military service becomes a thing of the past.

I salute them all too. Just know that in heaven everyone is the same, there is no division of race in heaven. Everyone is an angel.
