I'd like to say thank you to you guys. Without getting too political I'd like to thank you and also thank Reagan. I truly believe you guys saved the planet by being ready to fight. I believe the forces you were a part of were the greatest forces to ever be assembled on the planet earth.

By watching Reforger footage on youtube it's clear to me now that the US forces were the heavy lifters in Europe and ready to throw down against the Soviets for real. That's why the Soviets collapsed imo, they couldn't compete with a such a competent, motivated and well equipped force.

Thank you.
