Today we remember our heroes who served this great country of ours and those who are actively serving.

Have a good Memorial Day everyone!

Is this really a "Happy" day - or more of a reflective day?

A valid and solid point PSP. Though to be fair I think that was the theme of this thread

My Memorial Day was spent the same way for the last 20 years.......Memorial service at the club, Little Sauk Cemetery, LS River (wreath put in river for those lost at sea) and Long Bridge Cemetery! Get to shoot the M1 Grand rifle used in WW2. I can't imagine how those soldier's did it. Those things are heavier than heck and I can never get that bolt back!! Then back to club for lunch and a few cocktails to celebrate "so grateful" to be alive!

What a great way to spend Memorial Day, krystalkitty.

That's how the day should be spent ... honoring those who were lost, thanking those who are serving and being grateful for being alive.

I know you served and I thank you for that.
