and thank you for remembering veterans. So many forget what (we)
veterans did and continue to do: protect the people's rights to
freedom.

Some specific veterans:

My great-grandfather Charles Corliss and most of his family (one more
child was born after the photo was taken), with his third wife. He was
wounded in the Civil War and ended up deaf. My grandmother is the
small girl seated next to him in the high chair.

Yes, Thank You, Veterans. Where would we be if not for your sacrifices and
hardships.

Amen. Too many people forget what they have done, and even more still forget
those that gave their lives in the name of Freedom.

My father served in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. He spent 2 years in the Navy and
20 in the Army. He seldom ever talked about Vietnam (understandable), a little
bit about Korea (cold and wet, and hot and wet), and a fair amount about WWII. I
guess that's where I get my interest in WWII.

As such, Memorial Day has special meaning to me.

He passed away 23 years ago. May his Eternal Sleep forever be Undisturbed.

You earned it, Dad. And Thank You again from your family, and all who choose to
remember your sacrifices, ordeals, and willingness to give your life that others
may know Peace and Freedom. And Thank You to all the Veterans, both Sleeping and
Awake, who have done the same. I salute you.
