We have a lot of active and former service members here on OB, and we are proud of them beyond words.

Today, we give thanks to the brave men and women that serve our country at home, abroad, and in space. From the sands of Iwo Jima to the laserfish-infested plutonium swamps of Nebulon IV, you've volunteered to leave loved ones behind and immerse yourselves in sand, mud, or the tendrils of some enormous space-borne threat to mankind's existence. May your aim be true, your missions successes, your attack ships never burn off the shoulder of Orion, and your return home be a safe and happy one. You have our thanks.

Bonus: Check out the award-winning Iraq War photography of OB's Sam "Killian" Corum, a Marine and all-around fine hombre. His Iraq pictures can be found under the Galleries link on his site.
