    Lovely sentiment but have we as humans REALLY evolved in the last 102 years since the guns fell silent on that horrid Western Front on the 11th of the 11th of the 11th?

    Lovely sentiment was referring to your post.
    We owe way more that that to those who fought and the fallen, we owe them our Freedom.

    Like everything, as fewer Americans serve, the meaning becomes distorted or lost. Nice and heartfelt postings here. Mine will be simple and a greeting to my fellow vets and "Porsche Pushers" [RVN '66 + '67. My 2nd tour started on Thanksgiving Day. Quite memorable].
    For some reason I can't get this to post right side up. Ouch.
