To all the vets new and old here... Happy Memorial Day
 
I just want to express my gratitude for those that served and those that were lost. Regardless of war wether it was good or bad ( I feel they all were bad and uncalled for) Thank-you for fighting for our rights and keeping the hope alive.

I'm watching the news right now and I'm not seeing any info on parades and memorials. I'm in NJ now. When I was in CT, there were parades in most towns on the shoreline. The towns honored the troops past and present...

Not sure if it's a New England thing....okay just saw that there are some...that's better..I guess I'm too removed from the locals..

Anyways, Thank-you for your time and your lives.

And lets not forget those that never made it back home.

Singde... I hope you are still on the board these days. There are alot here that don't agree with all the vile and hatred that has been spoken here regarding servicemen.

My Nephew was killed by an IED in Iraq 4 years ago. 3 years ago today, I planted 3 green Arbor Vitae trees in his honor, on the side of my house. It's a nice way to remember Him. I think about him instantly, every time I see those trees. I think of them as my 3 sentries, guarding my home against harm. Thank you to all who have served!

I thank all vets for your service and sacrifices. Memorial Day is not about politics, it is about people, people that made the ultimate sacrifice for their nation.

Very touching, 90%RealMoney...May God bless his soul...

Thank you, ajrock for the thread..:applause_

For me, today represents my comrades who did not make it home..

Their death on the field of battle meant life and liberty for all..

There is no higher honor, than the sacrifice by our fallen soldiers for the Fatherland..

And for the families who gave their sons and daughters, may God grant you peace and comfort...

Another thank you to all the Vets on board. Many of you made great sacrifices that most of us will never fully understand. Thank you..

You're welcome all! As a disabled Vet, I thought of friends and buddies who didn't come home. I said a prayer of thanks, shed a tear, and hope for a future reunion with those who've gone before and helped pave the way.

It could mean they haven't seen the post...as I just stumbled upon it. Wasn't on the 'puter much yesterday.

ARMY ADA 72-74

Knowing now what I didn't know then has opened my eyes to the deception used to lure youth to 'serve' their country.

If it were a 'true call to serve' instead of an agenda, I'd feel better about doing my time.

God and the soldier, all people adore
In time of danger and not before
When the danger is passed and all things righted
God is forgotten, and the soldier silghted.
