I searched the internet in vain to learn who this quote originated with, but it's still worth repeating:
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to his country for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
Thanks to all who have served honorably in our armed forces, and a special appreciation goes out to those who have lost loved ones serving our country. God bless you.
A happy yet pensive Memorial Day to all.
