And special thoughts to all of those who have lost a loved one due to their Military service. We (as a nation) should say thank you EVERY day!

Originally Posted By Sport Goofy As we remember our war dead, let us also remember those who received life-altering injuries on the battlefield. It is more common in our modern era of war for a soldier to return home with lost limbs, debilitating brain injuries, or other traumatic disabilities that prevent them from ever living a normal life again. They did not die on the field of battle, but their sacrifice might be even greater.
Originally Posted By Darkbeer While I agree with you SportGoofy... America has two very specific days to honor those who served in the Military. Today, Memorial Day, is the day to honor those who lost their lifes in service of their country. Veteran's Day is the day to honor those who are living and served in the military... But we should honor those who served EVERY day.
