The media likes bad news, it gives them something to yammer about.
I've always told my kids and their friends that service to one's country is still one of the most honorable things you can do.
Well done.

Go Navy And thanks for the service to our country both here and Abroad. I served for 13 years and it is a thankless task that so many in our great land refuse to acknowledge or support. Well done 
I used to be attached to VA-122 (det Fallon) back a long time ago when we flew the great A-7 Corsair II. No slack in Light Attack!!

A big thank you to everone helping and giving. I know it is hard on more than just those that actually volunteer to help, it affects familys. My son-in-law is still down there working temperarily with FEMA and finishing up one month with them and next week will stay and work with the Army Corps of Engineers for another month.
