More Proof

A Soldier, A Sailor, an Airman, and a Marine all died and went to Heaven.
There they met Saint Peter and decided that only he could be the ultimate source of truth and honesty. So, the four servicemen asked him, 'Saint Peter, which branch of the United States Armed Forces is the best?" Saint Peter replied, " I can't answer that. However, I will ask God what He thinks the next time I see Him. Meanwhile, thank you for your service on Earth and welcome to Heaven."
Some time later, the four servicemen saw Saint Peter and reminded him of the question they had asked when first entering Heaven. They asked Saint Peter if he was able to find the answer. Suddenly, a sparkling white dove landed on Saint Peter's shoulder. In the dove's beak was a note glistening with gold dust. Saint Peter said to the four servicemen, "Your answer from the Boss. let's see what he says." Saint Peter opened the note, trumpets blared, gold dust drifted into the air, harps played crescendos, and Saint Peter began to read the note aloud.

MEMORANDUM FROM THE DESK OF THE ALMIGHTY ONE

TO: Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines

SUBJECT: WHICH MILITARY SERVICE IS BEST

Gentlemen,

All branches of the United States Armed Forces are honorable and noble. Each serves America well with distinction. Being a Serviceman in the United States Military represents a special calling warranting special respect, tribute and dedication. Be proud of that.

Sincerely,

God

U.S Navy Master Chief (Ret.)
