Hi, daisy - wish I had more time to spend here today. Thank you, and again I want to say thanks to Lori, for furnishing the text of the thread and that beautiful red graphic of IowaJima - sure made my work easier! :)

It was a labor of love, Billie. You know how badly I feel about not being able to contribute more to the profiles that you, daisy and dansangel do, so I am more than happy to have been able to help today.

I have decided to take the day off so that I can spend as much time here as needed to welcome and thank our friends who are posting their messages to our Veterans. I cannot participate in any of the Veterans Day cermonies happening around the country, but I can be here. It is the least I can do. :-)
