Woop's thanks Larry ::Memorial Day and Veterans Day bring forth patriotism and unite people. Many, though, often confuse the two days. Memorial Day is set aside to remember and honor those in the military who died in the service of their country.  While those who died are also remembered on Veterans Day, Veterans Day is the day set aside to thank and honor ALL those who served honorably in the military – in wartime or peacetime.

Thanks for the pictures.  Monday was spent with the wife going to the cemetery to visit and leave flowers.   Her Dad was WWII veteran and would not talk about it much other than he was in Patton's group.  Seen a flag that was on the ground and I picked it up.  The flag we got for her Dad was put in its place as he already had one.   The tattered flag was given to the grounds keeper.   Also the wife lost her youngest sister on Sunday morning, so I was not in too good a mood to fly.   But, she told me to stay there and fly.   :'(
