It sounded awkward to wish you a "happy Memorial day" as it should be a time to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. This is not limited only to recent wars, but there have been thousands in days gone by who laid their life down. Take some time today to remember them.
As a retired U.S. military member, this hits close to home. God bless the USA. Don't take your freedom for granted... it has a high price.

:good:
Like Marky Mark, I too will support this day with a ride on the fj.
I'll swing by the vets home in Yountville, where I worked for a while last year.
A big up to those who keep the bad guys down.
