I really enjoyed your collection of images, they spoke much more clearly than any words I could find. I'm not actually in the military, I just work for them.
My father, who is a military veteran, emailed me the following comments in response to this post:
"In these days of the use of contractors such as yourself, people forget that you to are making a sacrifice to be there separated from your family. Not the same as those exchanging lead on the front lines, but still in danger from other attacks. And that sacrifice extents to the families back home that worry about you and want you home. Happy Memorial Day."
It's a good thing I am not a professional writer, I keep finding other people with a talent for words that exceeds my own. The best I can do is learn from them and share.

That's why I used the images Chris, because they said it better than I ever could.
You're doing your part and should be commended for it.
