Just a short note to say thanks to all those who are serving thier Countries to keep us safe and the world free.
My other thought is to thank those who've fought and those who've fought and died in other world wars to give us the life we have (and sometimes take for granted) today....

In Flanders Fields[/b]
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

That was beautiful Richard. Yes I always remember those that are serving and those that have been lost. I pray our troops are safe and this mess ends soon. Untill then I have my yellow ribbons on my car, on my window, on my shirt etc... and they will stay there untill they all come home

Richard, thank you for that touching reminder of why we're able to enjoy the freedoms we have today.
