Happy Memorial Day to all the Vets on this forum. Thank you for your service to our country.

We honor those who gave their life for this country.
Re: Memorial Day 2019
Today is not about those of us who are veterans. It’s about remembering and thanking these men and women:


The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager
Re: Memorial Day 2019
Remembering my brothers in the submarine service who are on eternal patrol:
USS Thresher (SSN-593) lost with all hands, 129 crewmen and shipyard personnel on April 10, 1963
USS Scorpion (SSN-589) lost with all hands, 99 crewmen on May 22, 1968
In World War II, the submarine force suffered the loss of 52 submarines and 3,506 submariners.

Your best option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
When those fail, aim for center mass.

Re: Memorial Day 2019
You are correct, sir! Lots of people know that I am a veteran, and when they thank me for my service during Memorial Day Weekend, I will gently say "You're welcome, but let's remember that Memorial Day is to honor those who died during or after their service. Veterans Day is for those of us who are still here."bblhd672 wrote: Mon May 27, 2019 3:33 pm Today is not about those of us who are veterans. It’s about remembering and thanking these men and women:
