Memorial Day - not just for barbeques

This thread is a thoughtful read, but it presents a much better understanding of Memorial Day than the all-caps "Happy Memorial Day" tweet posted earlier.

Memorial Day is always a time that I take a pause and think of the ones I lost in service. Not just my own men but family and my Iraqi partners who risked their lives for me. I went for my traditional hike today. Now I’m grabbing a cold one and lunch. Here are a few of the men I’m thinking of today.

It is a true honor to serve our Veterans through honor flight. Here are some pictures from our recent trip 1.5 weeks ago.

It’s fantastic that they put the vets in a place of honor at Arlington.
