Since today is Memorial Day in the U.S., let us all take a moment of silence.
They shall never be forgotten.

Sorry to hear that.I too will be remembering, my grandfather was in both WWII and Korea...he just passed away on Friday at age 82.
Yes, unsung heroes both men and women alike. Whenever I see them on Remembrance Sunday (Armistice Day)in the UK, they get less and less each year. I remember seeing an old soldier in a shop once many years ago, he wore his medals on his coat. I said "thank you" to him. He looked a bit shocked actually but then he realized what is was for.
You know what his reply was to me?
"I would do it all again for not one thank you". Remarkable man.

Darn it! I missed the "moment of silence" at three today. Oops! 
I'll try to make up for it by saying a prayer tonight...
