Re: Lest We Forget
IMO we shouldn't need a day to say thanks to veterans, we should thank vets everyday and anytime we see them. Salut John Baslione, Richard Winters, Bill Guarnere, and everyone who's served.
if you want a 2 minute summation of character, humility and honor from 11:15 to the end of this clip will give you that
Salut Sgt. Salvatore Giunta

Yes we do. Every year I remember my mother's brother. Jack Thomas, RCNR, went down with all hands onboard HMCS Raccoon, an armed yacht torpedoed in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

This is the first Veteran/Armistice Day without a living WWI veteran.

Re: Lest We Forget
That's really sad. I'm reading the book "The Remains of Company D", about an American WWI unit, what a slaughter. Please never forget the sacrifices of the young lads and lassies. I really don't think America will ever appreciate what these men lived through, how they lived and how they died. God bless those Vets who remain alive, may they find strength and comfort in the Good News.
And a special thanks to my nephew Aaron and neices Tanya and Kelli, who are all currently serving our country in the Air Force. Thanks to my Dad (peacetime), his brothers (1 in WW2, a Sherman crewman on Okinawa, 1 in Korean war, infantry severely wounded) and his father (WWI infantry), all who served our country in uniform.
