Thanks for the info, Larry.  The folks who have been forced to fight that
stinking war deserve our respect and support for sure.

While we're on the topic, don't forget Operation Yellow Elephant, a noble
cause worthy of support:

Those who wage war but refuse to fight it do NOT deserve our respect or
support, for sure.
