Military Rivalry

One day, a Soldier, a Sailor, a Marine, an Airman, and a Coast Guardsman got into a fight about which branch of the service was best. The fight became so heated, that they killed each other.

Soon, they found themselves in Heaven. They see St. Peter walk by and ask him, "Which Branch of Service is the best?"

St. Peter replied, "I can't answer that. But, I will ask the Lord what He thinks the next time I see Him."

Some time later the five see St. Peter again and ask him if he was able to find the answer to their question.

Suddenly, a dove landed on St. Peter's shoulder. The dove was carrying a note in its beak.  St. Peter opened the note and read it out loud to the five servicemen:

All the Branches of the Service are "Honorable and Noble."  Each one of you has served your country well. Be proud of that.

Signed,
GOD, USN(Ret)
