Greatly appreciated and I send out my grattitude to other Veterans out there as well.
Memorial day, to me, isn't so much for the Veterans who made it home - it is for the ones who didn't. This is why this day is so sacred in my mind. My thoughts are with my fellow Soldiers and friends who didn't make it home. Rest in peace SSG Joseph Stevens, SGT Michael Carlson, SGT Javier Marin, SPC Jesus Leon-Perez, SPC Viktar Yolkin, and 1LT Ed Iwan. Your fellowship and friendhip is sorely missed.

Have a Meaningful Memorial Day
I agree - it's about those who didn't come back... We honor all of them. I got some waves today driving my Corvette back from central VA to Carlisle - Marine stickers on the back window.
Take a few minutes tomorrow to give thanks for those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
Semper Fi!

I'm not a Vet, but I wish to thank all of you who are, for your service to this country. If it wasn't for all of you we wouldn't be able to enjoy the things we Americans have.
In memory of all those who haven't returned Thank You, and God Speed!!!

It is about those who didn't come home
I am a Vet - It is about those who paid the ultimate price - God bless those who paid that price, to their families and love ones & help the stupid bastards who don't understand what commitment is.
