Thanks---for understanding what I clumsily was trying to convey...
What is really amazing about these men/women in Iraq is, a lot of the ones that have died lately, are there on their second tour, and volunteered to go back...
We have a relatively new Veteran's Memorial Cemetary in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, that I pass quite often....whenever I see it, a lump automatically comes to my throat when I see the lines of pristine white crosses....
No problem. I think everyone knew what you meant!
We have a new Veteran's memorial in my small town (I flagged HiJinx 'cause his Dad lives here). I'm taking the kids down there tomorrow to lay a bunch of flowers and a palm from Palm Sunday there.
