A soldier, a sailor, an airman, and a marine got into an argument about which service was the best. The arguing became so heated the four servicemen failed to see an oncoming truck. They were run over by the truck and killed instantly. Soon the four servicemen found themselves at the Pearly Gates of Heaven. There they met Saint Peter and decided that only he could be the ultimate source of truth and honesty. So, the four servicemen asked him, "Saint Peter, which branch of the United States Armed Forces is the best?" Saint Peter replied, "I can't answer that. However, I will ask God what He thinks the next time I see Him. Meanwhile, thank you for your service on earth and welcome to Heaven." Some time later, the four servicemen see Saint Peter and remind him of the question they had asked when first entering heaven. The four servicemen asked Saint Peter if he was able to find the answer. Suddenly, a sparkling white dove lands on Saint Peter's shoulder. In the dove's beak is a note glistening with gold dust. Saint Peter says to the four servicemen, "Your answer from the Boss. Let's see what he says. Saint Peter opens the note, trumpets blare, gold Dust drifts into the air, harps play crescendos, and Saint Peter begins to read the note aloud to the four servicemen. MEMORANDUM FROM THE DESK OF THE ALMIGHTY ONE TO: Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines Gentlemen, all branches of the United States Armed Forces are honorable and noble. Each serves America well and with distinction. Being a serviceman in the United States Military represents a special calling warranting special respect, tribute, and dedication. Be proud of that! Sincerely, GOD, US ARMY, SPECIAL FORCES (Ret)
