Everyone is part of the fight regardless of what position you served in.

Exactly. My job was to crew a tank. But I would not have been able to do that without the guys in maintenance keeping my tank running, or the guys in commo keeping our radios functioning. It also takes guys in supply keeping us equipped in everything from ammo to literally all the equipment we had. There's also the cooks keeping us fed and medics keeping us in running order. And that's just the combat support elements at the battalion level. Behind them were people at brigade, division, and on and on who all did their part to make sure when the time came we could shoot, move, & communicate.

for every one soldier on the frontlines, there are 10 behind him making sure:

1. He was trained
2. He was equipped
3: He was fed
4: He was housed
5: He was paid
6: He was given a mission
7: He was covered defensively
8: He had the best intelligence available
9: He was in good medical condition
10: He was transported to his duty station


without those people, the soldier fails... Honor all who have worn a uniform
