    I am sorry I have too much respect for true military men to let you get the wrong end of the stick here.I am not in the military, my link was to the life story of an Irish man who was one of many men instrumental in the creation of the American navy. The 'you're welcome' thing was a joke.Just didn't want somebody coming back and saying I was falsely claiming navy membership.But you are right.To those men and woman thank you for getting sh!t done.
