We do think our returning military are special "E-6 Navy Seal Karl “Gus” Gustavson". Regardless of what heroics you take in stride every day.
Thank you for your service. Welcome home.

"E-6 Navy Seal Karl “Gus” Gustavson received a much deserved hero’s welcome Thursday morning after returning home for the second time from Afghanistan to his home town of Grand Junction.
Gustavson declined to speak about his service and said “there’s not much about work that I can really talk about.”
But, whatever it is he does do, it’s something important, dangerous and worthy of an immense amount of respect from his fellow veterans who turned out at Grand Junction Regional Airport to welcome him home.
“This is the second time we’ve welcomed him home. You’ll have to ask him what he does but I can tell you he really deserves it,” said Art Edwards, one of more than 20 Colorado Patriot Guard Riders and Legion Guard Riders who came to say thank you.
“Just think about all that’s happened in the last six months and that should tell you,” said Jim McNeill, a friend of Gus’ father. “I can tell you, he’s really, really special.” McNeill was looking forward to finally meeting Gus, after sending numerous care packages throughout the past year filled with food and candy as a showing of support.

Thanks for your service, Mr. Gustavson. It's not just the elite level it's the dedication to staying and multiple tours. With a lot of uncertainty on the home political front it's hard for those of us back home to not be concerned that we can't see what our military is dealt every day. I apologize for a President that is so disrespectful he hasn't even learned how to properly salute yet. Welcome home and thanks for staying the course.
