Wishing a happy Memorial day to all veterans out there no matter how, when or where you served.

My wife has a school reunion in the next few weeks i think. One of her friends after he was drafted during the vietman conflict. Was taught how to fly a helicopter right out of HS and was put into the air Calvary. He was a hero big time.

He wrote an on line book you can buy on kindle called "born in Brooklyn raised in the air Cav" by John Flanagan.
Just saw I think you can get it on amazon in paperback.

He is a good guy. But I never felt I had much income with him.

Her other friend was a bigger hero then he was. Marine sniper had 19 kills in his first 2 weeks there. He is still in the service as an adviser every where Iraq & afganistan.

I think I did have a few things in common with him.

A ton of great war movies on turner classic movies today.

2 of my favorites that is on today. The best years of our lives that is some movie.

The other is the pride of the marines with John Garfield and Dane Clark that was some movie

Well said, Thank You

Happy Memorial Day. An oxymoron. Its a sad day in many respects that the common man and woman have to lay down their lives for the political, economical, and philosophical positions of governments. I hope someday there never is a Memorial Day.

Good point- never looked at it that way
