Memorial Day. Remember those who died for our country.
 

Salute :thumbup: Yes indeed . Never Forget...

:thumbup: Amen Thank You Vets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here here. I've literally buried too many friends and acquantences.

We lost one of our locals in Afghanistan about 2 1/2 weeks ago. His 8 year old daughter got her birthday present from him in the mail right before the family got notification - breaks me up every time I mention it so I won't say any more except it was his first firefight - and he wasn't a shooter, he was a medic. ("shooter" is the main guys who do the firing at the bad guys) He was one of the people who joined after 9/11 to try to make a difference.

My pet peeve is those who say "Happy Memorial Day"............

god bless the U.S.A!!

CHALLENGE-Find a veteran today.
 

I challenge each one who reads this thread to find a veteran (young or old) today and tell them how much their service and sacrifice for our country means to you.

Then come back here and tell us their response.

I started doing this myself a couple years ago on Memorial Day. I just started asking everyone I met if they were a veteran. I found quite a few and couldn't believe the responses. These guys are overjoyed when they find out somebody cares enough to ask. One gentleman was a vet of World War II, he was so happy he almost cried.

Make yourself happy.

Thanks, CO ZX2
