Great pictures, but sad to see so many bright, young men with MIA next to their names.

I will do my part to remember them as well as strive to tell their stories to others of my generation.

Peace,

David M

Many thanks for the post Jack... it makes for sober viewing, but beautiful at the same time. I will toast their memories tonight.

All the best,
Richard

Many thanks Jack...while scrolling down through that list of heroes who gave all, it gives all of us the time to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day.
