[DeTomaso] NPC Memorial Day

Sat May 23 10:11:11 EDT 2015

I appreciate them all, no matter which country they fought for, as long as they were on the side that was engaged in the eternal fight for freedom. 

As it has been said: 

"all gave some; some gave all" (Attributed to Korean War veteran and purple heart recipient Howard William Osterkamp from Dent, Ohio. U. S. Army, 1951 to 1953, C Company, 5th Regimental Combat Team) 

A couple songs that show the Memorial Day sentiment in the USA better than most (and even these are not without controversy):

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.
