Thanks to and remembering my fellow veterans this 2011 memorial day today.

From this old Marine, thanks to all my fellow veterans for your service.

Happy Memorial Day. Or if unhappy for some families of the recently fallen in the middle east....at least please accept our solemn and sincere thanks and gratitude for your veteran loved one's sacrifice.

And thanks to my departed merchant marine veteran Grandfather for service in WW1 and injuries to his legs suffered being torpedoed and sunk by a German U boat and surviving. And thanks to grandad's departed veteran brother and Marine great uncle Ed who at Belleau Wood in WW1 won the bronze star which is now in the possession of my veteran nephew Dan. And thanks to my departed veteran sailor Uncle Bob my Dad's brother and my departed submariner veteran Father for service in WW2 and my dad's pain and suffering for which his submarine won the presidential unit citation three times and was #2 sub in the Pacific for Japanese tonnage sunk. And thanks to my surviving veteran nephew Dan for his service in the Army tank corps as a gunner. Thanks to veteran Uncle Mike who died on active duty in the Army in Germany. Thanks to veteran Air Force uncle Harry who still survives. Thanks to veteran Army uncle Buddy who still survives for his service during Korea.

Salute to all my family veterans and to all U.S. veterans everywhere.
