Sometimes we loose track of why we get long weekends or a day off from work. They are usually spent grilling out with family and friends. Remember we can only enjoy these times because of the Military men and women that fought and died for our freedom. All gave some, some gave all. I would like to thank my Grandpa and Dad for their service to our country. They didn't die while in service but still gave their duty to our country. The picture is of some of the metals my Grandpa received while serving during WW-2, including 2 purple hearts and 2 bronze stars. He received several scars and injuries, the worst of them was losing his right arm during "Operation Plunder" the crossing of the river Rhine. My Father served in Vietnam delivering supplies to various bases, driving a deuce and a half, then finished his tour by delivering documents to and from Chi Lai to Da Nang via chopper.
A big Salute and thank you to All that have served.
