Good luck Gentlemen. It sure is sad to see that Mr. Sawyer is having to put his honorable life on the line for some of the most anti-American people in our government. At last some of the deserving heros of this ten year war are getting the credit they and others deserve. All of us old(not former) Marines are very proud again.
