Thanks for the info, Larry. The folks who have been forced to fight that stinking war deserve our respect and support for sure. While we're on the topic, don't forget Operation Yellow Elephant, a noble cause worthy of support: http://operationyellowelephant.blogspot.com/2005/07/operation-yellow-elephant-overview.html Those who wage war but refuse to fight it do NOT deserve our respect or support, for sure.
