Memorial Day

[thisnumbersdisconnected]

I first posted this on Veterans' Day last year:

In my 20 years in, I flew combat helicopters. I was in Vietnam, flew the fence line between East and West Germany during the coldest part of the Cold War, I went to Grenada, the Suez Canal when Iran threatened to close it, Panama, and Desert Storm, after which I retired. During those years, I came to know a lot of wonderful people. Today, I don't want you to remember my service. I want you to remember those who served honorably, valiantly, and ultimately paid the full price for their service.

God rest them. Hoo-Ah!

Although Memorial Day is a day to remember all of our loved ones who have passed on, I'd appreciate a brief remembrance of these great people if you happen to think about them today. God bless.

This # is absolutely correct!

Today is to remember those who gave their lives in combat.

When will news reporter get their facts straight

A week or so ago, we honored Active Duty (including NGR) on Armed Forces Day.

Veterans are honored on 11 NOV.

May you have a Sacred Memorial Day today.
