Salute to those who served
Here is a salute to those who have served our country with honor, valor, and distinction. This weekend (although commercialized beyond belief) is a time for quiet reflection, gatherings of families, friends, and loved ones. Growing up an army brat on or near an army base - I can attest to the significance of this time of the year.
You know who you are and what you have done for us. So the Stack salutes all that you have done on this day. You may not have served on the front line. In my mind, each of you are important. Enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend and Holiday. Be safe!

Couldn't have been said much better. My heart goes out to all serving, and those that have served. To all my fellow former Marines, and especially to Marines still serving, SEMPER FI.

The price paid to liberate Europe...
I was sent these photos and numbers for those fallen in the European theatre during World War II. The pictures says it all and I think it is important to remember that some of our fallen brothers never made it back to U.S. soil.
God bless all of those, who laid down their lives for a friend. The photos are in order below corresponding with the location. 1. The American Cemetery at Aisne-Marne , France .
