since memorial day is being observed today i wanted to start a thread for people to remember their loved ones who were veterans who have passed away.
my paternal grandfather was a veteran and passed away from lung cancer and my great uncle frank was a veteran and passed away from a.l.s.
i will have to find some pictures to put on this computer later.
please feel free to post memories you have of your loved ones here.
Elphaba started a nice thread and sadly it faded off the front page. Although, we can never have too many Memorial Day threads.

Memorial Day, Schmemorial Day, blech! It's just a day off from work, nothing more.
as a veteran, I am totally insulted by that........but then the beauty of America is that you cann be as much of an A**hole as you want to......and cat, you prove it.
people like you make me sick to my stomach that 290,000 Americans died protecting your right to be an A-hole in WW2.
and a really insuting way for a two-day newbie to act, or anyone for that matter.
Seriously, that is an absurd thing to say. If it was meant in jest, it failed miserably.
How disrespectful and insulting.
joking about people who gave their life so that we can jest, somehow isn't funny.......but at least that's better than meaning it.
