This thread is for the United States Memorial Day. But...my friends if you are from another country, please honor your fallen as well.

Nostalgiascape - this was a good thread. I think sometimes we get so caught up in having a day off from work that we overlook the reason why.

Thanks, Nostalgiascape, for reminding us all what it is all about. You know what I thought about a lot today? That pretty soon all of the WWII vets will be gone...they're really getting up there. I hope they know how much this country owes them, and how much we appreciate it. My Dad was in France during WWII, and I remember that he cried when he got to go to the WWII memorial in DC. Very powerful stuff.

These ordinary men and women had to live through real horrors on a daily basis.
