I just wanted to take the opportunity to remember all they vets out there especially all those who didn't come home, to me even though I've had people call me a hero, the guys who didn't come home are the real heros.

I agree, the guys and gals who never came home are the real heros. The rest of us are the lucky ones.

Lets not forget the ones that are still serving. LEts all honor them with a pray.

ALso here's a group of veterans that over the years have been denied their status. That is the US Merchant Marines, espcially the ones that served in WW II. They had the highest percentage of lives lost then any branch of the Armed Services.

Very well put and oh so right! I wanted to say a bit more in my first post, but got interupted. Remembering those still serving and especially those in Iraq and Afghanistan with prayers is definitely an outstanding idea.
