I wanted to say how much I appreciate what has been given by those in the armed services of the USA and other democratic nations to keep us safe and free. Let us remember those who have given their lives for us. Let us also give thanks to those who have been or still are in harms way as well.

My thanks as well.  And a special prayer for my grandfather who passed away last night at the age of 90.  He fought in the PTO in WWII and fought in Korea as well.

Well said.

jeez my families members gave their lives for Kaiser and Führer (of the austrian sort.. sigh)
as sad as it is i am glad they were not on the winning side.
and i hope they will forgive me saying this.

RIP, grandpa.  Sounds like a man who earned all 90 years.
