[Milsurplus] Memorial Day

[Jim Whartenby]

Maybe sad to some but the freedom to celebrate with hot dogs and beer is easily understood by more people then the famous "Four Freedoms" of FDR and Rockwell fame.

I, for one, just wish that more people stepped up to the plate and served in the military.  Perhaps there would be fewer hawks and more doves in the world?
Happy Memorial Day to all,
Jim
