    Default You too will stand and salute!



    I thought I'd share with all one of the most moving photos I have ever seen.

    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.

    God bless those two Vets and every other Vet who is or has served us in the military. They suffered so those of us back home wouldn't have to.

    They are the best of the best!

    Happy Trails!

    And to think that at least 13 posters saw this thread since it was posted and chose to ignore it.
    Trust me, It is not I who seek recognition as much as this post in itself demands it.

    Marco,
    GREAT picture!
    As most of you know, I think this site & my FAOL family members are the best......not just as flyfishers, but as Patriots who so fully & openly support our troops, past & present.
    God Bless & thank you all....your support gives strength!

    Sometimes we look and don't post because theres nothing one can say about our heroes that the picture doesn't convey .Its hard to speak when you see something so overwhelming.There is allot of posts I don't comment on as the father of a son serving in the army because of how fickle some politically correct people are in this world.For the sake of peace and respect for LF and JC and others I try to keep my tongue and comments to myself . Nothing but pride, respect and honor for our great service men ,veterans of past and present and our fallen.
