A Dear Friend, Co-Worker, and Brother: Julius Costanza sent this email to me ... Julie and I grew up in the streets of Brooklyn, New York {As Friends} ... We both worked for the NYCTA as Signal Maintainers {As Co-Workers} ... We both served our country, back in the day {Brothers} ... Thank You for Your Service Julie and Welcome Home Brother !!! ... {Semper Fi Marine} ... This was sent to me by Dave Pound, LtCol USMC (ret), so I send it to you with my sincere thoughts. When people recognize I served they usually say Thank you for your service. My response is usually Proud to have served. SEMPER Hello Brother/Sister Thank you for your service. One of my best friends sent this to me. I thought it worth sharing with the rest of you. About 9% of the US population has served in the military. Just under one percent are serving on active duty today. These numbers are small but often it is the small things that nurture greatness. As our government is headed towards a most drastic reduction in our military capability at a time when we may be facing a growing worldwide threat from Russia, China and the Middle East, I worry that our culture has come to denigrate the contribution and sacrifice of those who serve. Bless you all. You may have served in Combat or in non-combat. You may have retired out or you may have served for a short time. You may have been a draftee or a volunteer. You may have served in the Corps, Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard or the Merchant Marines, BUT YOU SERVED. YOU DID YOUR JOB HONORABLY and for that I am PROUD to call you Brother. You may have served during Korea, WWII,. Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Iraq or Afghanistan, But you served, you did not run. You have a DD 214 with those words HONORABLY DISCHARGED two of the most noble words in the world. Again I am proud to know each and every one of you. * Today is Band of Brothers Day* ; send this to all your brothers, fathers, sons and fellow veterans you know. Happy Brothers Day! To the cool men that have touched my life: Heres to you!! I was never a hero, but I am thankful and proud to have served among them. A real Brother walks with you when the rest of the world walks on you. Send to all your Band of Brothers, because the fake ones wont. {USN: Vietnam Era Vet 66-70 RM3}
