God bless those who died in active service for our country.
Remember what tomorrow means. It's my 53rd Memorial Day and as each 1 passes it brings out more emotion than the last 1.
Come September 1st, I will have been home for 54 years (actually I was on the plane but GOING HOME) after 2 years and to see my daughter for the 1st time as she was born Oct. 13th, 1967 just about a month and a 1/2 after I shipped out.
So if you are at a party tomorrow take a moment and raise a beer to all the boys that are forever young.

I honor every American that sacrificed to serve our country. Cheers to you Rick and all that are forever young!
Thanks Tom, the thought is deeply appreciated.
The years go by so fast. I remember August 15th 1965. It was just about 3 months before I went in to the service and we were having dinner. My stepfather said to my mother that the war was over 20 years on that date. I sat there thinking " Wow, 20 years was so long ago". For me it's coming up on 54 years and those years went by so damn fast. Getting old sucks and remembering things that you wish you could forget but never do, that sucks more.

" Shoot, I forgot what I was going to say".
Hey Bish, welcome to my world. My GF is amazed that I can remember what she wore on that 1st (blind) date, how she sat in my car, the look on her (beautiful) face, and the fact that I thought I was never going to see her again. She has said that all those years ago (April '66) she could see that look on my face. At the same time, if she asked me what I had for breakfast this morning, I would have to think about it.
Hell of a world we live in!!!!!
