Thanks for all the support, I am currently on my 5th deployment in the last 4 years. All the letters and post are definatly welcome. Please keep supporting us in keeping these terrorist away from our country....

Many members have asked for a place to post a tribute to our Armed Forces, while looking around the boards there really isn't a place set up to do that. After some discussion with Admin, Laurie and I have decided that a stickied thread here in the Let Us Get To Know You board would be the best place and the first place most would see it.

This thread is for the sole purpose of our members to post their dedications to our Armed Forces men and women and Public Service members (police, hospital, EMT, etc.)

If you have a dedication to a serving family member, a general thank you to our fellow Americans, or would like to say something in appreciation to all the freedoms that you enjoy because of those that protect them for you at home or abroad; this is the place to do it.

This thread will be closely monitored and kept on track. No off topic posts will be allowed to stay and will be removed immediately without notice.

I asked for someone to give me something to get things rolling and this was the first submission. This gives everyone an idea of what kind of content we would like to see in this thread. Not all posts have to start out with the UB part of it 

"The members of Ultimate Bass have dedicated this thread to all of the men and women of the United States Armed Forces.  Without your service, loyalty, and dedication our country would not be the greatest nation in the world.  From the earliest colonial days, members of our great nation have stepped forward to fight for and protect the freedoms granted to each and every American."

I'm currently serving in the Armed Forces I think this would be great.

[Mike Cork]

Thank You for Serving Chad Evert! Keep your head down, I still haven't got to fish with you yet!!!

Folks I got this in an email from my Father today. I'm posting it here so you can copy and paste and send it to those you know.

Brother:

You may have served in combat or while preserving peace.
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 WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Nicaragua, Persian
Gulf, Iraq or Afghanistan. But you served, you did not run.

You have earned your 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 & women that have touched my life: Here's 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 won't.

Merry Christmas to my brothers and sisters in 10th Mountain, 3rd Brigade Combat team in Afghanistan, and all of our service members all around the world!

[Smallie_Stalker]

To all those currently serving, Merry Christmas and may God bring you all safely home in the coming New Year!

To all those who have finished their service, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We may not be celebrating this year if it weren't for the sacrifices you made for us.

You are all in our hearts and prayers.
