    Absolutely amazing lens. Thank you so much for sharing. Hopefully more people will read this and better understand and appreciate what is sacrificed by soldiers in combat. I try hard to understand, but I never was able to have the honor of serving my country, much as I tried..

    Another outstanding lens, about "Nam", I know it all to well, what it was like living "in country", hoping you would make the next day, thanks again. a lot of bad memories, but yet a lot of good friends, and "brothers of the cloth" that hung together. Again thanks, I know this was probably painfull for you to talk about, I rarely do.
