Celebrate Memorial Day

[parker_db]

I have never served in the military (I was the son of a Navy Master Chief) but was around the men and women that served our country for my entire youth. After having been a part of this wonderful site and all that it offers I was reflecting on how many of the members are serving or in-active military.

On this Day of Remembrance, I am moved the offer my sincere and heart felt thanks, respect, and gratitude to you that have served, are serving and will serve our Great Country, for your sacrifice, dedication, and service to the United States of America. Your Service and value are beyond any words that I can put down on paper.

Thank You.

This year is special to me I have lost two good friends this past year. One was in a auto accident out in town and another was killed by a roadside bomb a few weeks ago in Iraq. It puts this day of remembering them on a whole new level of meaning to me.
