Other Lest we forget

With the Memorial day holiday upon us, I would like to respectfully request that everyone take a moment and remember those who fell in defense of our nation and freedoms and right in far away lands throughout the history of our great nation.
I personally have lost brothers, comrades and friends while in the service of our nation.

Thank you for your understanding.
 
Long ago and far away, I worked at a rifle range with a former VN war doorgunner. He was good people. We also had a Navy vet and a former Marine. I learned that sex was invented by the Navy, but that it took Marines to introduce the concept to women.

I met many a veteran while there and never failed to express my thanks for their service and sacrifice. Some from the Viet Nam war era actually broke into tears and told me that I was the first to do so. That made me very sad.

Never forget,

J~
