To Our Fallen Brothers and Sisters Who Gave Their Last Full Measure in Service to Our Country

It is 1500 hours....please join me in a moment of silence.

Memorial Day

Created a few short years after our own Civil War, we set aside this day to honor and celebrate the lives of those who died in service to our country.

I am not going to write what I think about Memorial Day, you all know my thoughts concerning the over commercialization of our lost brothers and sisters. Today I am only leaving you with the images of those that I honor this day.

Sgt Mike Stokely


1LT Robert Seidel III


Capt John Ryan Dennison

To our "Absent Companions" a toast! Rest easy on Fiddler's Green.

Jimbo at Blackfive speaks out!
Laughing Wolf also remembers his fallen comrades and family.
And even more at Blackfive from: McQ and Deebow.
Video at Chuck Z's place.
Cassandra remembers 15 Marines from 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion.
Greyhawk in his usual fashion out does us all.
