Gentleman:

Just want to ask that you keep two of my sons in your thoughts this Memorial Day. Both are serving in theater:

Josh, a Sgt in the U.S. Army, is on his 3rd tour in Iraq.
Craig, a Navy man, is serving on a Destroyer.

Also, please remember my cousin Don, who was KIA 40 years ago this September:

PVT Donald A. "Skipper" Obey, USMC
KIA September 14, 1968
Quang Nam Province, RVN

Thank you,

I will certainly do that.

GunPlumber,

My thoughts and prayers are with your sons, along with all other fighting men and women who came before and are currently serving in our armed services, as always!

Thanks for the reminder that Memorial Day isn't about bratwurst and beer. A lot of good folks have put themselves in harm's way to make our nation possible. They deserve a lasting place in our hearts and memories - and not just on this one day.

Gunplumber, my deepest appreciation goes out to your sons for their service. I would also like to thank any others here that have served this great country.

God bless and keep your sons. Please convey my thanks to them for their service.
