From someone outside the military I would like to show my appreciaton of all those mentioned and those who werent - reading the citations is enough ground for admiration - i'm sure the reality was even more so. The every day bravery and effort goes largely unmentioned in the public arena but it is something I think about anyway. It is difficult to walk up to a member of the services and say thanks without feeling silly and possibly causing embarrassment so here is my thanks to all
