Remembering our Veterans - dubob - 11-11-2018
[font "Times New Roman"] [/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]With tomorrow being Veterans Day I thought you might want to take a moment to reflect on the message in this video. Yes – it’s Canadian. But it is about all veterans regardless of which country they might service. Y’all take care now; and thank you for your service to all my military brothers and sisters everywhere.[/#800000][/font]

Good job Bob -- amazing video....each year on this day I fly my flag with the name of a fellow soldier on it, who died in Iraq on May 3, 2003....Sgt Michael Quinn..he was 37..Yeah, I was still in the Army at that time, but not in Iraq...my war was Viet Nam....How can you ever thank a veteran that died....I don't know, I guess just live your life to the fullest, be grateful, and try to do some good for someone else....A vet with PTSD?..reach out your hand..

I'm as mindful as anyone about honoring our lost. But that's the purpose of Memorial Day.
Today is the day for the survivors to celebrate, to swap tales, and to reflect on the good fortune we all had to return to our families. It's the day for the brave, the lucky, and even for the reluctant, but most of all for the living.
Crisp salute, fellow veterans!

I just read somewhere recently that over 58,000
Americans were killed in Viet Nam, we have lost 176,000 to suicide since they came home. As a country we need to do more for our returning combat vets.

I couldn't agree more Wyoguy. We are very fortunate these days to have received a better homecoming. But those guys had it rough and many contiune to struggle.
