Aw, that made me sad.

Here's a shout out to all who've served in the military, including my husband, a disabled Air Force veteran.

My father served in WWII on the USS North Carolina. He passed away last year.

Why don't they memorialize The Gulf of Tonkin Incident or any of the people who died during The USS Liberty Attack? Maybe because they were inside jobs like 9/11. Nobody even knows who Smedley Butler is any more. They'd rather you forget him.

They are.

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance "for those who have died in service of the United States of America."

[MrSteve]

we have something similar in the UK its called remembrance day on the 11th Hour of the 11th day on the 11th month ...

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
