I think that ANYONE who volunteers for the Military, in any capacity, but especially one who volunteers' and then is on the front line, commands my respect. I personally do as much as possible to support our Military while on active duty, and returning soldiers and their families. Plus one of my groups helps with parties and gifts for Christmas and Valentines day for 2 wards of Military folks in the Vets Hospital here.

Of survey respondents, 65% of active-duty and 67% of Guard and reserve troops said that Kerry's activities after Vietnam made them less likely to vote for him. Kerry served in Vietnam as a naval officer and was awarded a Silver Star, a Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts. He protested the war after returning home. Only 12% of active-duty troops and 16% of Guard and reserve troops said Bush's actions in the National Guard made them less likely to vote for him. Bush received a coveted pilot's slot in the Texas Air National Guard during the height of the Vietnam War and missed a number of mandatory drills after he stopped flying fighter jets in April 1972. usatoday.com * * *

Former Marine fends off Atlanta robbers 1 hour, 2 minutes ago news.yahoo.com A former Marine used a pocket knife to fend off a group of would-be robbers, killing one and wounding another, police said. Thomas Autry, who authorities said will not be charged, had been walking home from his job waiting tables Monday night when four people got out of a car and chased him, Atlanta police detective Danny Stephens said. One of the attackers had a shotgun and another had a pistol, Stephens said. The suspects caught up with Autry, who yelled for help and pulled a knife out of his backpack. He kicked the shotgun out of one of the attacker's hands and stabbed both a 17-year-old girl who jumped on him and a man who also attacked him. The suspects fled in their car but police found them later at a hospital where the girl was pronounced dead. The man stabbed in the incident was in critical condition, Stephens said. Autry's attackers will face robbery and aggravated assault charges and are suspected in other robberies over the past week, Stephen said. Stephens credited Autry's military training with helping him fend off the group. "I would say he had to do what he had to do to stop the threat," Stephens said. "You can tell his training kicked in and he knew what to do." Autry, 36, suffered a cut to his hand and a bruise on his chest, Stephens said. * * *
