Thank you for your sacrifice Ryan, your brothers have your 6, don't make the mistake of stooping to the level of those you detest. The irony is that your sacrifice gives them the liberty to protest. In the eyes of a great nation they are fools and clowns. You are indeed a hero and let God be their judge. If I were them though I would take spare tires the next time they come down to Oklahoma. Things will work out for you, just chill brother. USAF at your 6.

Keep up the good work. These people need to be shut down once and for all.
