Not Sydney, but my oldest son also served 20 years in USN as a Navy Air Traffic Controller. He is now an Air Traffic Controller at the Palm Springs airport in Ca. I was going to call him and see how he was doing but was afraid he might be at work and I didn't want to wake him up. I would highly recommend service to any of my granddaughters.

Not Sydney. 12 of my 24 years in the Navy was as an Air Traffic Controller. Great job in the military.

Osama's death deserves another bump for the Military Roll Call. Keep it going!

Special Operations Warrior Foundation
I apologize if I have posted this in the wrong place but who better to reach out to then fellow veterans about this foundation.
As we all welcome the news of the death of Osama Bin Laden and Americans congratulate our Country and especially our Military, I thought it would be a good time to consider all of us giving back a bit to those that made this event possible. Special Operations Units of the Military (Delta, Seals, Green Beret, Air Force and Marine Special Forces) have made this day possible. Although many times they are forced to operate in the shadows and avoid taking credit for their actions. I ask that you take a look at the following link: www.specialops.org to learn of the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. This foundation has received a 4 star rating from Charity Navigator for the last 5 years (Only 5% of charities qualify for this distinction). The Special Operations Warrior Foundation provides full scholorship grants and educational and family counseling to the surviving children of Special Operations personnel who die in operational or training missions and immediate financial assistance to severely wounded Special Operations personnel and their families. I ask that you consider making a donation to this worthwhile charity as a small way for us to show our gratitude. Thanks. |

I couldn't agree more. I made reference to Special Ops in another thread relating to Bin Laden and gave a capsule overview of special ops, didn't intend it to be all inclusive, just for those that thought of "water" with the Seals, not a Special Ops 101. Special Ops, because of it's appropriate cloak, does not receive it's due. I'll add this to my recently instituted Wounded Warriors contributions.
