US Military Memorial Thread, Part 3

[nutsy54]

It's been a year for the previous, non-political thread:
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=136014851

This will continue in the same tradition - as a memorial thread. If you wish to debate politics or point fingers, pretty much every other thread in R&P is appropriate.
