Good day to say "thank-you."

A heartfelt THANK YOU,

To all military personel, to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, and to those who would give their life for yours.

To all those folk who served as civilians as well... I visited the old gunnery school where my father worked during WWII. He once rigged a cam onto a jeep wheel so as to provide a bobbing target, but didn't drive the jeep himself. Thanks, Dad!

I agree with those sentiments on behalf of everyone who served or serves, be it military or civilian. My dad played sax and clarinet in a prominent Army revue from 43-45 called Stars and Gripes, which also starred a young Don Knotts and Mickey Shaunessy, a fleet boxing champ. They played on many islands and ships to entertain thousands of troops.The V mail my mom kept are invaluable to put a personal aspect to the service and my recent contact with the son of another band member.
