Nice, dude!

Not that I can probably tell a difference anyway, but which one's you?

Once again, I know it's a little corny, but I want to say thank you for your work. Doing stuff like that is what makes you a hero.

I hope it's not embarrassing to say I admire you guys unreservedly and think you are all heroes.

I remember reading something about the ovation or heroes reception that astronauts would get wherever they'd go even before they ever went into space and how it seemed strange to one of them until he realized that the public understood the risk and was showing the love now and paying it forward.

You da man.
America should know the political orientation of government officials who might be in a position to adversely influence the future of this country. http://tinyurl.com/4vucu5

You freakin' rock. Honestly, I have no idea how you guys muster up the courage to do your job, but it's to be greatly admired. You guys probably have one of the highest job approval ratings in existence.
