Sometimes the obvious whooshes right by me. I'm the guy who spent five minutes searching my apartment for my keys, all the while I was twirling them in my other hand.

Hey, maybe I am dead.

Seriously, though, sometimes I do sit and think about all the ones who didn't come home from my war, or any other.

NO! When I can't find my reading glasses ....they're usually on top of my head!

...and then I can't remember what it was I wanted to read! Hey new theory: My brain( the bigger one) is in one 'box'...My corpus-no longer dilecti- is in another and I'm being bombarded by decaying solar photons due to less protective ozone as I approach irreversible objective collapse pending total decoherance

HW3 is right in saying Memorial day in the States belongs to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their lives for their country . However, It's really hard not to pay tribute to those who have answered the call and although not lost their lives, a great many returned permanently injured. And then also honor those that served and thankfully returned home in one piece.

I know HW3 and others, including veterans, will understand and appreciate if those veterans are not only honored on Memorial Day but also on Veterans Day as well even though the day belongs to those who have fallen. Better to remember them and their sacrifices than not at all. Having said that, a big salute to our veterans here in the forum

I can't speak for all of my comrades in arms, both living and dead,
But we require no thanks for our service. We do appreciate the recognition of our sacrifice.
