Hey Mr. Matt, I didn't know you were being deployed. As a military brat and proudly serving in my adult life, I SALUTE YOU with all the utmost respect! We've got some "drinking business" still to do after you are no longer active! Like the colors of our flag, I DON'T RUN! I really wish to try that snakehead sake! I'll be bringing Absinthe back on my next trip, which the cargo from my trip next month, I dedicate solely to you! At 'em boy! Give 'em the guns! :thumbs:

Matt,

I'm a service brat too. My daddy did three tours in Viet Nam. No matter our political differences on this board, I am so thrilled to see everyone here wishing you such love and support. I am saddened to see anyone go off to war, but I am PROUD that we have men and women like you who step forward and serve for our country, for freedom.

You and your family will be in the prayers of my family. Come home safely and soon to them!

Jen
