Sorry I’m late in responding, John, but it isn’t because I have a problem with your post. I agree with you 100%!!! And I hope that everyone followed your ENTIRE Ten Things list! As the wife of a Viet Nam vet, I’m with you all the way on this one. Thank you for reminding everyone that Memorial Day isn’t ONLY about cookouts and picnics, and that we all need to pause now and then for a few moments of gratitude to those who gave all so that we could enjoy our way of life.
