It's okay foxrac! I think we can still enjoy the day and I also think we can celebrate even in death. We can be thankful for those that gave their lives so that we could celebrate in freedom. It's just that we need to honor our nation's war dead too. They paid the ultimate price and gave their lives so others like us could be free. Have a great day buddy!
Foxrac, I'm glad that you posted this topic today, and that you did remember our service men and women. I appreciate that.![]()
Your welcome.
My father served in Marines for 20 years, from 1972 to 1993 and last his base was in Quantico, VA, it is around less than 30 miles to DC. I visited this area so numerous time from 1991-1993 so did stayed with my father for while. In 2011, I visited Quantico again with my father for first time since last time was 1993. It was huge change for sure and I-95 got more wider and expanded other highway in middle so Woodbridge has a lot of sprawling and still very crowded on Sunday. It was day before I went to Gallaudet University and got struck in traffic for 2 hours in just less than 30 miles to DC on Monday morning.
