Thankyou for honoring those of us whom have served.

I read a report yesterday that said 55% of people they polled thought Memorial Day honored soldiers that had served or were currently serving. It made me wonder what they thought the term “Memorial “ referred to

 

My Grandmother worked at Hudson Motor Car in Detroit, up until they went out of bussiness. During the war She built Airplanes. Being a God fearing Lady from up in the hills of Tennessee, moving to Detroit for a better life in 1940 with a new baby ( my dad) wasn’t easy.Caring for others the way She did, including raising the three of Us, at a time others were enjoying retirement, What an example of humility and strength. A True Hero, loved dearly by many, We were lucky to have her, God knows where Id be today, otherwise.

 

and don't wish a combat vet a happy memorial day. it usually isn't very happy, remembering those who died beside you.

 

I heard NPR say something very similar today and it made me wonder why all the 'smart people' are so stupid.
I served and I am alive. This day is not to honor me. I had to school my wife on that a few years ago.
RIP fellas and my buddy Steve Cornick from some beach in California.

 

LOL
