I received the following as an email from a retired-military friend who stays in contact with those currently serving, or his peers who's kids are now serving. I thought this brief note is very telling:

Received this from a friend in Alaska. Let's see what the news says tomorrow.

Hi J,

Just a little trivia here. The President will land at Elmendorf tomorrow on
his way to the Orient. A soldier called in today to say that there were 300
seats reserved for family, etc. They couldn't fill them. So - - - it is a
mandatory formation tomorrow. No matter what you may see on the news, it was
mandatory.

In this case that 'E' was pretty important...

I will like to give it to bcfast to put on the end of "morale."
The moral issues of war need discussed to, but I don't think this thread is about that.

GREAT post, in spite of my sarcasm and word-nerdishness. Thanks for sharing.

I too am a stickler for spelling and grammar...just too early, I guess!
My point of sharing this is that our boys/girls in uniform don't seem to give a crap about seeing Barry, even in a remote AFB. It proves the point that respect is earned, not just handed out.
Their act of non-interest makes me smile!!
