That's a lovely way to honor and remember them.
Often we think of the dead, but please remember in your hearts and prayers the living doing their duty and the ones who have been injured and impaired having done their duty. 
Happy Memorial Day to you, MM3!! |

Each cross represents a soldier from Michigan who died in Iraq or Afghanistan. Did you help put up the crosses, M.Michiganman? |

Yes, I helped, and will go back with my daughters to help take it down later this evening.

Well taking it down sure goes a lot quicker than setting it up.
Taps were played at 4 pm, a moment of reflection, then back in the bins until Veteran's Day in Nov. My youngest came and helped. |

Title of this thread "Veterans for Peace" is a misleading one. It ought to be "Veterans for War."
Veterans for Peace is for likes of people such as MLK, Gandhi, and other advocators for non-violent causes. |

Dude...kinda hard for me to make funny or smart-@ssed comments for a thread like this.
I got nothing but respect for the men and women who serve my family, friends and neighbors...... I guess it would be completely inappropriate to tell my old Navy story about getting my di*k caught in an 800 pound water tight hatch..... |

Veterans for Peace is for likes of people such as MLK, Gandhi, and other advocators for non-violent causes. So, in that line of thinking, then....Thoughtfulthug is for the likes of smart drug dealers, and other people that bring nothing to the table..... Michiganman....that was a cool thing to do...I take my Grandkids to the Vet center to cheer my Brothers and Sisters up......at least once a month. |

Veterans for Peace is for likes of people such as MLK, Gandhi, and other advocators for non-violent causes. This title of this thread is very appropriate. This man did a good deed today and you're knocking it.

Even though I was Armyfied at 17, Semper Fidelis to all my Sisters and Brothers.
Nobody hates war more than those that have to fight it. Nobody loves peace more than those that have seen war. Nobody loves life more than those that have put their own at risk. Nobody hates death more than those that have taken life. Former Sergeant John Sullivan US Army 1982-85, 1986-92 |
