(raises a glass to the fallen)

[Dusty Chalk]

Yeah, I never know what the appropriate salutation is on a day like today, "Happy Memorial Day" seems inappropriate, but I did want to acknowledge those who have died while in the service.  So a toast to those gone -- thank you for your service.

Cheers, although today I'm limited to water it's the thought that counts.

[jvlgato]

Yes, thank you to those who served for our freedom!

[Voltron]

Hear him!  Cheers with a FFF Permanent Funeral (sorry if morbid sounding).

To the fallen.

Tradition lately seems to have become reminding people (even with good intentions) the difference between Veteran's Day and Memorial Day.

Raising a glass to our fallen heroes. Thanks for all that you do and for keeping us safe.....and that includes our active service people too.

[skullguise]

Raised a glass today, too....big thanks to all who serve and have served.....

Raising a glass to those who served and serve. Though they did not participate in an active conflict, I raise a glass in memory of my brothers Paul (Navy) and Chuck (Army). I miss them.

Amen to all the above, and I join the salute.

Cheers to all who all who made the ultimate sacrifice protecting our freedom.   Bully!

[Dusty Chalk]

Bumping...here's what I posted on Facebook, paraphrasing:

 

I know you don't like war.  None of us do.

I know you want what's best for our soldiers, to come home, all of us do.

I know you may disagree with the politics of some of our politicians.  All of us do at one point or another.

And to protect our rights, from hostile enemies who don't share our values and wish to change us, we have our soldiers.

 

And some of those soldiers do not come home.  This day, remember them.  I give thanks to those who have paid the ultimate price in these violent times.  I hope they all are resting in peace now.

Heartfelt thanks and respect to those who have and do serve.  My dad included (Korean war, Captain in Air Force), though he never flew in combat; and several uncles and great-uncles.....

To those who have sacrificed so we may live in freedom....thank you.
