Now get back on that plane and go back 'cause you haven't finished the job yet.

I sincerly hope you're being sarcastic. They never should have been there in the first place.

Well Done Men!. Great photos and story about real live heros for our nation. I feel sorry for those who cannot fathom the sacrifice they make for our freedoms.

To @Welcome Back...if they weren't willing to serve and protect our country you would not be making these comments, have a roof over your head, be eating, driving, working or whatever you do. They are preserving your life and style by putting their lives in danger. Thank goodness we have brave, courageous and patriotic men and women who want to serve and believe in what they are doing. May God watch over them and continue to bless them with the courage and protection they need.
