A warm thank you to any and all members, current and retired, of our armed services. I usually spend this day going through my grandparent's photo albums and journals from their accounts of WWII and catching good movies on t.v.
For the last few years I've dusted off my trumpet and have played Revele in the morning and Taps at night when we raise and lower our American Flag for the day.
Everyone have a nice day, and spare some thoughts for those who have served.
Thanks.

I suppose you bastages will be wanting another day off for this? :rolleyes:
:lol just kidding! [/troll]
A couple of days ago I read about the proposed assault on Fallujah by the US Marines. An amazing feat. I've since heard (last night) that about 11 US servicemen were killed in the operation. :(
Big to these fine gentlemen, both for service and incredible bravery.

Eight Air Force Letter to Saint Peter
found in a 94th BG Songbook
Let them in, Peter, they are so tired;
Give the the couches where the angels sleep.
Let the wake whole again to find new dawn fired with sun, not war.
And may their peace be deep.
Remember where their broken bodies lie...
And give them things they like. Let them make noise.
God knows how young they were to have to die!
Give swing bands, not gold harps, to these our boys.
Let them love, Peter--they have had no time--
Girls sweet as meadow wind, with flowering hair.
They should have trees and bird song, hills to climb--
The taste of summer in ripened pear.
Tell them how they are missed. Say not to fear;
It's going to be alright with us down here.

Thank you vets for your sacrifices and for serving our country!
