Re: My Memorial Day Salute
I will join you in that drink and salute. That was during my time frame of service and I have friends on that Roll of Honor. An empty place will be set at our table today. Semper Fi.

Re: My Memorial Day Salute
Today I salute A1C Carl Anderson. He was killed by an IED in Iraq on my birthday (Aug 29th, 2004). Carl was a friend and a good Airman, he's a true hero who gave the ultimate sacrifice for his country, for that ALL of us are in his debt. SSgt (vet.) Darrell W. Mogg |

Re: My Memorial Day Salute
My shame at never having served is tempered only by my pride of what I do to support the troops.
Much respect and honor to all who have served in time of conflict or peace.
