Dutchess, thank you for such a moving tribute to the men and women who have protected and defended our country. I wish every one of them out there could see it. Thank you for helping me to express tears of rememberance, pride and love for all who have fought for the Republic for which we stand, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

"The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave." --Patrick Henry

Good morning to all on this honored day. I hope you are well for our day of commemoration.

I would like to honor those family and friends who have served:

• Great-Uncle Richard - US Air Force WWII Surgeon
• Col. Billy Moore - US Army WWII
• Uncle David - US Air Force
• NIL Joey - US Air Force (active duty, ships to N Korea 12/5)
• Uncle Bobby - US Navy
• Jim - US Marines
• Armen - US Marines Viet Nam
• Doug - US Air Force
• Joe - US Army
• Mike - US Marines

  All my co-workers whose service I'm unaware of--I work in an aviation repair facility and many of my collegues are former servicemen and women.

Good afternoon, Donaeus - I'm not sure I'm 'mingling' enough today, but trying! :)
