JUST WANTED TO SAY AS A PROUD SERVING MEMBER OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE LAST 18 YEARS IT WAS A PROUD, POWERFUL, AND MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT ON 16 AUGUST 2001 ONBOARD NAVAL AIR FACILITY WASHINGTON DC TO WITNESS THE RETURN OF 14 DEVIL DOGS FROM THIS UNIT. LOOKING AT OUR JUNIOR TROOPS NOW DAYS I SOMETIME DON'T FEEL THEY TRULY UNDERSTAND THE LOST OF LIFE AND SACRIFICES OUR FELLOW SOLDIERS, SAILIOR, AIRMAN AND MARINES HAVE MADE OVER THE PAST MANY YEARS. I DON'T THINK THEY TRULY UNDERSTAND WHAT PRESIDENT KENNEDY WAS SAYING WHEN HE STATED "ASK NOT WHAT MY COUNTRY CAN DO FOR ME BUT WHAT CAN I DO MY COUNTRY"..... MAY THEY REST IN PEACE AND WE BE ABLE TO BRING ANYMORE HOME THEY WE KNOW THAT ARE OUT THERE.....
