DON'T YOU DARE FORGET THEM!
It's been 43 years since I was in Vietnam on Memorial Day. We had hot dogs and hamburgers even then...you do the same. I salute all the vets out there and even those that weren't!
Today, and on Veteran days, I call six of my friends who I know serve in Vietnam. I don't call them to chat - I call them to thank them for what they did. They appreciate it but not as much as I appreciate what they did. Thanks to you as well. Ralph

ReplyDeletePERFECT comparison, with these two different periods in time! But, ironically---quite the same!
ReplyDeleteHope ya' had a good one, as well---I know I did!

I will absolutely not forget! I admire all who go and know they are there for me. (And my nephew is a veteran, 82nd airborne.)
ReplyDeleteMmmm...Joan...loved your cooking blogs...linked them from my cooking blog.
ReplyDeleteGod bless, Mushy! We had a fine day. You saw my piece about William R. Caddy, the Congressional Medal honoree, so you know we remember.
ReplyDeleteyea, cool comparison. Never forget.
