I have to admit. I wasn't going to do any threads this year. They take a lot out of me emotionally...visiting painful memories like this.
But...I just went and watched my 11 year old daughter in a school musical about America. It reminded me that we are here ONLY because of the courage of those who came before...and that MEMORIAL DAY is the one day set aside to remember them..to tell them Thank You.
I am not a writer (as I have been reminded time after time on FR)..but I'm here and will stand my post until relieved.

Yes, millions will remember. I had 4 cousins in Nam. We will go to the memorial airshow in central Missouri this weekend and take my 84 Y.O. father-in-law in his wheelchair. He has Parkinson's now and is unable to walk much. He too was reluctant to go to war in Europe, but entered the airforce and became a B-17 pilot flying 16 missions over Germany in late 1944 and early 1945. He was shot down and served 6 months in a POW camp manned by the Russians but survived. He was a kid in war but did as he was told to the best of his ability and he is still alive and he remembers.

Thanks for the ping. Be back later. ;)
To: redrock
Let it go, dude. Higher powers than you were at work.
And yes, we'll remember his name. We'll remember ALL their names ...

What do you mean you're not a writer? You're that, and a whole lot more.
But you and I both know that isn't the point of your stories at this time of year.
And I thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing them to us.
I'll be at the Old Post Cemetery on Ft. Huachuca Monday morning. I won't be alone.
God Bless you for all you do, Redrock.
