Amen to that.
Men and woman from all corners of our nation have made the ultimate sacrifice to allow us to do what we do today.
God bless them all.
We sure have a lot to thank them for, and that's a fact. I have appreciated the efforts of some of the organizations that have given our wounded warriors a chance to enjoy hunting in a variety of settings. That has to help these heroes adjust.
All gave some, some gave all.
Never forget that the price of freedom is written on the Wall. Semper Fi.

Those of us on FnF all know that Memorial Day should be every day and not just once a year. I think that it (respect for those serving) is slowly starting to return. I know that I try to thank members when I see them and am also hearing others do it as well. I have never served, but do appreciate those who have.
Jerry
"I have no illusions about what little I can add now to the silent testimony of those who gave their lives willingly for their country. Words are even more feeble on this Memorial Day, for the sight before us is that of a strong and good nation that stands in silence and remembers those who were loved and who, in return, loved their countrymen enough to die for them."
"Yet, we must try to honor them -- not for their sakes alone, but for our own. And if words cannot repay the debt we owe these men, surely with our actions we must strive to keep faith with them and with the vision that led them to battle and to final sacrifice."
Ronald Reagan in a Memorial Day Address, May 31, 1982
