Not enough posts off topic of Memorial Day to worry about. And so what if a few people thank a veteran. There is nothing wrong with that.
Last memorial day I went back up to the two Cemeteries where we do services to raise the flags back to full staff. We send two people to do this. One plays to the colors on a boom box and the other takes care of the flag. Well at the one cemetery we did the flag and saluted and as we were leaving a lady looked at us and said, "Thank you, my Dad heard that." So thinaking a vet really isn't out of the ordinary for Memorial Day. In most cases it is a Veteran who placed those flags in the cemetery, My post placed 700 of them.....
We thank you not just because you served, but because you served with those who died. You connect us. They live in your memories.
