I was going to add some thoughts to MAC-DADDY's post, but then I decided that he had summed up my feelings quite well.

To the Veterans, as well as those currently serving:  THANK YOU!!!

Amen, Brothers!

GOD BLESS OUR VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES!

I would say this is a day that you simply must fly your flag, but I know if you're like me, your flag has been flying since Sept 11!

Right?

BTW, I'm working on my third flag since Sept 11!

Well said by all. Don't forget to go by the cemetary and clean off the graves and stones, and put a flag over the fallen. We have done this for years as a family. We also have a picnic there and stay for most of the morning.
