I should have known that at the least you were being sarcastic. Problem is too many people you would expect knew better don’t and they think Memorial Day is for all vets. It’s a pet peeve with me.

Roger that. Youngest daughter Navy, oldest grand-daughter Fl National Guard (Iraq and back), Dad-0-6 Navy, me Navy, aunt 0-6 Army Air Corps/Air Force, ancestors Civil War, Revolution. So yeah, I’m fairly well versed in the meaning of the holidays. Thanks for your service. You’ll have to wait until Veterans day. :>}

Just a P.S. Don’t know where you are but here in Reno, when Veterans Day rolls in, the parade in downtown is AWESOME. Looks like thousands of kids in all the high schools around have a VERY strong set of ROTC programs. The parade usually last about an hour and a half. Makes me proud and a little choked up.
