[DeTomaso] NPC Memorial Day

[Doug]

I have no eloquent words to express the deep appreciation I have for our
country's fallen defenders.  I can only offer my sincere appreciation for
the honor and bravery of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and
condolences to their families for losing what was most precious to them,
their loved ones.

Jeff, as a Veteran with 24 years of service I appreciate you
sending this out.  I find folks will say
"Happy Memorial Day" to me and other Veterans around this time.  Many people
and companies confuse the two
days (Memorial Day vs. Veterans Day).   I think the Guinness ad was meant
for
Veteran's day as the vet is living.  If
she put a beer on his gravesite then it would be a Memorial day commercial :
)   Not trying to be a smart-ass but just
making sure folks understand the difference.
None-the-less any support of our Veterans on any day of the year is much
appreciated!    Some quick background
from the VA site:

“Many people confuse Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Memorial
Day is a day for remembering and honoring military personnel who died in
the service of their country, particularly those who died in battle or as a
result of wounds sustained in battle. While those who died are also
remembered,
Veterans Day is the day set aside to thank and honor all those who served
honorably in the military - in wartime or peacetime. In fact, Veterans Day
is
largely intended to thank living veterans for their service, to
acknowledge that their contributions to our national security are
appreciated,
and to underscore the fact that all those who served - not only those who
died
- have sacrificed and done their duty."


Thanks!   Mike

This has been around for a while but it is still appropriate.
