Thanks, Gil. I'll make my annual visit to Ft Logan at day break and have a few thoughts and memories. Be safe.

A time to remember, the link at the bottom is well worth watching. All the best, Dom.
"Dinner at Quantico" - Memorial Day Thoughts (UNCLASSIFIED) As we head into the week prior to Memorial Day, please look at as many clips & articles as you can about the true meaning of this National Holiday. It is not about school being out, BBQs, or swimming pools opening, it is a National day of remembrance to all the brave Americans who have given their lives in order that we can continue to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. WHY IS IT THAT SOME UNDERSTAND WHAT MATTERS ABOUT AMERICA ... AND THEY RESPECT IT SO DEEPLY THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO MAKE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICES FOR IT? AND TOO MANY OTHERS ... HAVE NO CLUE? This slide show consists of photos taken at a formal dinner at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, VA. honoring the Widows of Marines killed in acton. It is a beautiful presentation of the honor, commitment and pride today's heroes share with yesterday's. If you know a Marine or a soldier of any branch of the Military (of any age) make sure he or she sees this. Wouldn't hurt if all other Americans saw it too! SEMPER FI! http://www.jensensutta.com/slideshows/RTB/
