Thanks ... sounds like a good book, may have to check it out.
I get offended that alot people don't know what memorial day is for. Some think it's a day to remember family members (non-vet) who died. Nice thought, and I'm all for memorializing loved ones ... but that's not what memorial day is for.
As a vet, it's nice thought when people want to thank me, but I have my days (10 Nov. & 11/11), so save it 'til then.
This day is to remember those who did not come home.
Period.
