Thanks for posting this Mark. It's too bad that to most Americans, Memorial Day is the first three day weekend of summer and nothing more. Except maybe a big sale at one of the local big box stores, or car dealerships.

It's also too bad that in order to honor those who have served, sacraficed and died for freedom have to be honored ahead of Memorial Day, so as not be lost amoung the hot dogs and beer.

Oh. And no I'm not bitter.
