    Take a moment to remember...

    This is mainly for all of us here in the USA, but it's good for our international-type bros. (well, Canada is basically the US nowadays anyway)

    Take a moment today (right now works pretty well) and reflect on the men and women who have sacrificed so much, even given their lives, to support and defend our country's way of life. You may not agree with foreign polcies past or present, but the mainstay has been the service men and women, as well as diplomats, "covert" operatives, and all sorts of other types who consistently place their life on the line for us.

    Keep that in mind as you are having your BBQ, out on the Boat, riding your bike, whatever it is you do today. There is a reason why it is called "Memorial Day".

    Yeah - lots of young men/women outside their comfort zones right now. And some older ones who thought they were about to retire ending up with purple hearts...

    Yeah, I really lucked out on that one... I haven't been called up yet, but it's only a matter of time before my reserve marine unit gets activated... they are starting to rotate more Marines in so it seems...

    My flat mate is trying to get back in (has to get some tatoo waivers first)... if he got invol orders - he would be thrilled! He hasn't been out all that long - and wants to get back to his unit... he's Marine inside and out... never should have left... me - I am fine making the $$$ as a nasty civilian
