Thank you, Cuda.
Likewise, thank you for yours and thank you for the service to all vets here on the forum.
And especially, a deep, heartfelt thank you to all our friends who didn't make it.

In Flanders Fields, John McCrae, 1915.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.Last edited by Demetrius; 05-29-2017 at 12:44 AM.

Memorial Day is for the people who fell serving their country. It is not for active service members or veterans who still live.

It took a long time to bring these two men home to their families. What the Government couldn't do to honor them, civilians stepped up and truly honored them.
