    Please take a minute.

    Monday is Memorial Day in America...

    When working on base, every unit has pictures or markers of some kind to represent those who have fallen in combat. In a lot of places I see faces of young men, or boys that I remember talking to and showing something about a copier in the past, and now they are gone. Monday is Memorial Day, a day set aside to remember those people. At my first call yesterday, in Special Operations HQ, I walk past the memorial of names in a wall, sometimes seeing families there shedding tears over a father or brother or husband or son who will never come home. At the security desk where I wait for my escort, there is a large flat scene tv constantly showing the profiles of fallen soldiers. I see it every day and can never forget, so please take a minute to remember those who were willing to die for you. Soldiers don't make the politics, they just follow orders.
    The UK, Australia, Canada and Germany are heavily intertwined with American Ops, as are many other countries, and are considered brothers.So please remember brave people everywhere.

    Point taken, I see troops from many countries. Sometimes I count. The most I have seen in 1 day were people from 18 different countries. People willing to defend their countrymen and give their lives are to be respected, providing they are soldiers who have honer and morals.

    I have corrected my first post.

    Well said. I'm grateful for the ones who have pledged to serve our country and many have paid the ultimate sacrifice. No words can express what that means to me. Thank you and God bless to those who are serving now and have served in the past.

    I have many family members that served, and I continue to see them serve out of uniform.
