DMESS 24 #1 Posted May 23, 2008 I just want to wish everyone a happy (and safe) holiday weekend. Break out the grill, spend time with friends and family and REMEMBER those who gave us the freedom to do so. This one's for you Pa. For the strength and bravery to face adversity that I'm thankful I've never had to endure. I REMEMBER. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CasualObserver 3,410 #4 Posted May 23, 2008 A favorite of mine: A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it. Author unknown. Proud to have served. My heart and thoughts are with those who currently serve.
