Afternoon, Lori. I agree. The tributes on your thread yesterday and those here today are heartwarming and also very emotional. I hope all veterans know how much their service and dedication mean to us.

I love what you did with this graphic - I think I remember the photo from an earlier thread. (I think. :) Memorial Day maybe?)

If it's okay, I'd like to personally thank some special veterans who are dear to my heart:

My husband: Navy
My son: Navy, Gulf War
My father: Navy, WWII
My father-in-law: Navy, WWII/Vietnam
Three brothers-in-law: All Navy
Two nephews: One Army and one Navy (scubachick's husband)

I wish so much that my two dads could be here today to see this thread and know how much their service is appreciated. There were many years when I think they were never thanked for what they did for America.
