Thank you for your article, it brings back the memories of two dear friend of our family. Ralf Bobin and Bennie Santiestevan went to vietnam war back in the 60's as young boy's, but were layed to rest as fighting men. They would come back home on leave just to injoy their family and friends and not say much of the war. I know that their are many young men and women who have sacrifice their life for are freedom and not only should we give our thanks on Memoral Day but every day that we are free.

Loved it - I have two sons and husband that served - I'm very proud of them. Our country is a great country due to the soldiers that have fought to protect us and keep us safe.
Many families from the Revolution to the present have given their husbands, children, fathers, brothers, sisters, wives, the list goes on for us - to keep US free. I pray everyday for their families and love ones that the current soldier comes home safe and whole. God Blesses our Country because of our faith.
If I see a soldier in uniform or fatigues, I shake their hands and thank them for their sacrifices and service for our country. God Bless Them.

Thank you for your reminder about Memorial Day. Many do not understand why we have this holiday-esp younger folks. Our family has a tradition of honoring our vets and our dead relatives by visiting the cemetaries during the year and esp on Memorial Day. Flags come out on Memorial Day and stay as long as the cemetary caretakers allow us to leave them.

Thanks, Ralph. My Dad served in the Navy, as a desiel mechanic deep in the engine rooms of destroyers and mine sweepers during WWII. He survived the war with a partial disability from a mine that hit the ship. I remember him and his service every Memorial Day.

Thank you Ralph for a touching tribute to your member of the "Greatest Generation". My father and my uncle were members of it as well as my foster father. I had many good examples on which to base my own career, but my own hat is off to those presently serving in every corner of the world. Me and mine thank you for the service you provide today and pray that you will live to thank those that follow in your footsteps.
