Not trying to be a jerk or split hairs or anything, but isn't memorial day for those that have given their lives serving our country?

I would like to take time to say 'Thank You' to all of those in the armed services. Its easy to take our many freedoms for granted because we are 'here' instead of 'there' - but as the saying goes Freedom is not free; someone paid for it. Thank you and God Speed.

Considerate post Crager, served 4 yrs Navy myself, closest we came to action was sending our battlegroup of 44 ships through the Gulf of Sydra to cross Omar Kadafi's "Line of Death", which we did, calling his bluff.

Big salute to our countrymen fighting right now and to those who gave thier lives.

Well, I don't feel too bad now. Thought I was the only one having to work today.

But thanks to all of those past & present who have served to protect this great nation and allow us the freedom to be here on this site doing and talking about things that we all love.
