    When I was a kid it was called Decoration Day.  Watch a parade to the cemetery and the 21 gun salute to those that gave the ultimate sacrifice so we can have freedom.  Nothing was open, it was a day to remember.  I did my time in the service.  But always remember that freedom isn't FREE.  I'm lucky enough to live at the time when the county put in a Veterans Memorial Wall to those from the country that served.  Might be much to you people, but it means a lot to me.  Here is a short vid of the place if you care to waste your time.   https://youtu.be/3V9QHBgrPNY   Sorry no clue how to paste a vid.  Just a stupid old man.

    Well nuts, I told you I was a stupid old man.  How about this shorter vid?   https://youtu.be/RC8vnH0EqVg  That vid isn't the one from the county I was born in.  Think that vid is in Washington DC.  So sorry.

    I also lost my Uncle at Pearl Harbor.  He was on the USS Arizona and was only 19 years old.  Still there.  R.I.P. Uncle Paul.

    Sorry to hear that Mike..but this thread should be afforded the respect it deserves. Many veterans, including yours truly, would happily trade ailments with you. Perhaps your post would have been better placed in a different thread.

    get well soon, bro
