Fellas. I come from a family with a ton of military veterans, quite a few with combat tours. In fact, Im the only male on my fathers side to not have served in any branch. I had other opportunities that my father encouraged me to follow. I do a lot of reading on here and know that there are a bunch of military veterans on this board and proud Americans that support our troups. Here is what Im asking.
My brother in law is currently still serving. He recently returned from his 13th trip over seas since 2001. He is special forces and everything he does is top secret. Last year he had just returned before turkey season and I was able to get him in the woods and on a fine gobbler. This year he got back in early March, but came back busted up, He gets knee deep in it unfortunately. In fact he missed being able to go this entire season, and is still battling some physical issues. I really think he is bummed a little. I cant say his name or post his picture due to his position, but what I was thinking is that some of you guys could post some replies and I could print it up and give it to him. I think it would be cool to show him the appreciation that we all have for our guys. I think it would mean even more coming from fellow turkey hunters.
Im proud he is my brother n law and very thankful for his service and for the love and respect he shows my sister and their baby son. Im praying for his continued safety and for a speedy recovery on what is ailing him and hoping I get to spend more time in the turkey woods with him.
Thank you to your brother in law for his service. I hope he heals quickly and gets back into the turkey woods soon.
Also much respect for SF and the operators. Those guys are the best of the best. Semper Fi
Thanks guys, for your service, youall are the real hero's.
Tell you BIL that I said thank you for serving our country and me. Because without people like him making a difference we wouldn't be able to do the things we do. He is welcome in my turkey camp anytime.

To savduck's brother-in-law
MANY Thanks for your service to this great country of ours.
Oooh Rahhh!
From one old Army SSG from days gone by to a true hero in my book...... A soldier serving in today's military. I myself had the opportunity to join the 1st Special Forces Group out of Ft. Lewis, WA. when I was stationed there with the 109th MI BN. I know those boys do a ton of recon work and it is a very dangerous and thankless job. I changed my mind after having the chance to watch from inside a heated C-130 our Airborne Scouts do a night drop from 800 feet. No Way, No How was I going to go through with it. After that exercise I immediately had my request yanked for Airborne school. You guys are the Elite of the Elite. You are true heroes of this nation.
Thank You for your Dedication and Service to the Greatest Nation in the World. :smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an

I could say "thanks" all day long, but it would never amount to this...

Enjoy. :)
If this doesn't come through, tell your brother-in-law the least he can do is buy a dadgum color printer. ;)
:jesus-cross: Prayers to saveduck's BIL for a speedy recovery. :jesus-cross: I have a retired Marine son in law, a grand daughter that was a marine and a grand son in the army now. I would hope for your recovery and a safe life to you. :jesus-cross:

Thanks to your brother inlaw, i can go hunting any time i wish, or anything else i want to do. a big thanks to him and i hope he recovers soon.
:jesus-cross:Thank you very much from a prior Army man. You're in one of the most thankless jobs there is, especially because everything is so hush hush. You can hunt with me any time.
Thanks to all of the armed forces, and especially your brother in law, that make it possible for us to be able to live the kind of lives that we want to live. Thank you for your hard work and sacrifices! :smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an :smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an

I second this! :z-winnersmiley:
Thank you to your BIL for his dedicated service to our country. Without that we would not have the freedoms we enjoy.
Maybe a simple "thank you" is as good a way as any to express how grateful we are for the service these guys are doing for all of us, but it sure comes up short. God bless 'em all.
