Add my thanks and admiration

glen Yup, admiration is a good point. As I get older the things that can really “get me” tend to be based around self-sacrifice, and there isn’t really another profession that requires as much sacrifice as being in the Military, so, Hats off to you gents, thank you!

Happy Memorial Day! Thank you U-S-Veterans for your service and sacrifice!Take time today to remember those who have served and those who never made it home from fighting for the freedoms we enjoy today🇺🇲

I may get slammed for this but that’s ok, I take it a bit personal. Although I know the intentions and thoughts are good, how ever today (Memorial Day) is to recognize and remember the fallen soldiers and the sacrifices that were made. It is a somber day of remembrance. I don’t see it as a “Happy” day. Veterans Day is more of a celebration and recognition for their service. Independence Day is a day of celebration for our nationhood.

Agree with you, Tim.
Some holidays we celebrate, others we solemnly observe. -

twilliams Unfortunately most under 40 have no skin in the game… Draft stopped in 1974. Most watch the news and conflicts with Ukraine as a sports game, not carnage and death… Way too many have no value on being an American Citizen… Never lived in or saw a 3rd world country in person outside of the tourist walls and Umbrella drinks of a cruise… Just my opine… Cheers

twilliams I have always thought this too. Especially after a guy who I went to high school with was killed in Iraq in 2004. It is a very somber day of remembrance for me.
