War is never a great thing. Normal citizens like use really depended the brave soldiers to protect the nation!

I don't count myself as "brave"as those soldiers however at age 17 I entered the U.S. Navy and spent 3.25 years on an aircraft carrier during which I earned 1 Expeditionary Medal, 3 Naval Unit Citations (NUC), 2 Battle "E", 2 Sea Service Ribbons. Reached the rank of E-5 in 3 years, and was Honorably discharged. During this time, My Command brought down the Terrorist from yhe 1985 Achille Lauro Incident and in 1986 We crossed "The Line Of Death" in the Gulf of Sidra (Mediterranean Sea) and was fured upon by Libya.
