Happy Memorial Day and Thank You Vets!!

[Sonofiam]

I don't usually post "patriotic" stuff on an international forum but I wanted to say a heartfelt "THANK YOU" to our service men and women who have served or are currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Also to remember those who gave their lives in the service of their country.

My grandfather passed away a couple of years ago and for some reason this year is bringing back a lot of memories of him. He served in WWII as a gunner in a B-17 bomber over Germany and he taught me a lot about having confidence in who I am and pride in my heritage. So, thank you Grandpa, you are not forgotten and may you rest in peace.
