Let us not forget the brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

I'm adding the Health Care Workers, and Police, Firemen, Grocery Store Workers, and all other front line workers who have perished in the last few months. It's getting to 100,000 now.
I spent 28 days in the hospital in 2012, but Mrs Bear was there with me every day.
I can't begin to think what it must be like to spend My last days in a hospital, without any loved ones able to spend time with me. It has to be Brutal !!

RIP to All,
Bear

Amen to all

So many people have given their lives so we can be free and the great country we are.
Sometimes we forget and take it for granted.

Thank's to all who have given so much and their lives, God Bless

Yes God Bless them ALL!

Veterans and front line COVID workers, as they were fighting a war as well as our soldiers in my opinion.

Amen. We often take so much for granted. Thank goodness we have venues such as this forum to remind us of what it took to get here, so we can continue to move forward. We are all appreciative of those who have sacrificed and those that continue to do so.
My Father served proudly in WWII, my Father in Law served proudly in the Korean War.
Like Bear said, it's the non Military people too that are heroes.
Stay safe.

Every Memorial Day weekend my cousin and I get together to celebrate the life of one of our uncles. He made it home from Vietnam but cancer from the chemicals there finally got him. Upon his return from over there he continued to serve as a highly respected Paramedic. Every year we salute him with a whiskey on the rocks and a short saying. "To those who didn't make it back. To those who made it back but still paid the ultimate price." RIP Uncle Bob.

Not lumping in grocery store stockers with guys who were fighting hand to hand in sub zero temps in Korea sorry... I appreciate what your getting at though.

IMHO it's a war of a different sort. The servicemen who sat at the computers and programmed the missile coordinates were not out in the sub zero temps either but they were every bit a part of the war effort and deserve the accolades...just as the front line COVID workers do. Not all wars are fought with rifles on a battlefield. I am forever grateful for all of the military personnel who have given their all for us to enjoy the freedoms we experience. I'm also indebted and grateful for the people who put our lives ahead of theirs to keep the wheels of this country turning under some adverse conditions. I salute you all!!

Happy Memorial Day!!

I deleted my above post because I didn't wish to offend anyone. But, I salute all that have served. Past or present. Alive, or those that gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Isn’t that a nickname for Robert?

That's like saying Richard is Dick. Don't assume.

Deleted. Will ignore this group.

Maybe for some but I chose not to go that route. I go by my Christian name that my parents gave me, not some moniker. Thanks for checking though....but we all know what happens when you assume
