Memorial Day 2016

[edjs]

I would like to add that this holiday is not to honor all veterans, this holiday is a memorial for those that made the ultimate sacrifice and died protecting our nation. I keep their families in my thoughts and prayers this weekend.

Further to what Ed and others have said, these stats are from Friday's USA Today. Seeing these numbers really got to me. War is so horrible!

Active Duty during the First Gulf War and to my 384 brothers and sisters that I fought beside and that did not come back home; I felt your pain all of these years and live with it each and every day.

Was it worth it?

It sure was and I would do it again if given the chance!

WAR eventually will lead to PEACE and the word WAR will cease to exist.

Take care Charlie
