My pleasure. You guys deserve all of our support.

Thanks for the post. Our service men and women need the support of our fellow citizens. I so wish my dad ( Staff Sgt. John Sokolosky / WW2 veteran) was a live today to see the great things his Army is doing against the war on terrorism. I know he would be equally proud to know his two grandsons have volunteered to serve this nation during a time of War.

Thanks for the support!!

Thanks for your heartfelt tribute to Memorial Day. To far too many people, Memorial Day is just an excuse for a three day weekend. Many others, including often the media, lose sight of the true meaning of this holiday and instead of focusing on those who have defended our country, treat the holiday as just an opportunity to remember all those who have passed away, whether they were in the military or not.

My highlight for the weekend was to visit, with my father, some of my ancestor’s graves, including William Henry Harrison Phillips of the 64th Ohio Infantry, killed in the battle of Stones River.

Happy Memorial Day!

Brad

Perhaps they are. 🙂

Eric:

I finally talked to my uncle, about his war experiences, a year before he succumbed to emphysema. I regret that I didn’t ask questions earlier or tape the concersation . Man it was good stuff– Battle of the Bulge, Big Red1, Nazi POW camp! What this generation went through so we can live the way to which we’re accustomed.

I’m betting our Uncles are having a couple of cold ones & telling old war stories, as we all should do in rememberance of those who served our country.

Happy Memorial Day!

Mike
