Red and Rover by Brian Basset for May 26, 2013

One must practice their salute!

Thank you, Brian, Red, and Rover, for honoring our fallen ones.

Great strip, sir!

: ^ )

Nice, Brian.

My dad would have loved this one – thanx!

A salute to my Dad and Grandfathers too!

Very nice. Thanks. Not everyone remembers any more.

Love it.

why wait till Monday to fly the flag

I took my Girl Scout daughters to put flags at a military cemetery yesterday. We don’t have any military in our immediate family (my mom’s brother fought in Korea), but it’s important for all of us to recognize the sacrifices made for our freedom.

Splendid; Red and Rover are the best! ☆☆☆☆☆

I think we all remember and feel deeply. This is the greatest country because of the sacrifices of too many.

This is really nice.. thanks for remembering ….wish the other comic strips had…love you two guys…

Very touching tribute…

BTW, congrats to Brian for winning the Reuben Award for Best Newspaper Comic Strip!

Lovely tribute! My mom was a Lt. in the Army Nurse Corps during WW2 and continued taking care of others for over 40 years as a Registered Nurse.

Congratulations Brian! Good job on winning a Rueben! You deserve it!

Nice.

You made me cry, bless you.

Brilliant!

Speaking as a veteran, thank you Brian…

Beautiful! This brought tears to my eyes.

Great for Memorial Day. Thank you. My Dad served in the Navy, and my husband is retired Army.

This is one of many things I love about this strip. Many strips will be Memorial Day-themed this weekend. But Mr. Basset never seems to forget the purpose of the day, or the reason for the season, as it were. Kudos to him, and many thanks to our veterans for all they’ve done.

(BTW, this is not to imply that no other strip has recognized out veterans, I’m sure Mr. Basset isn’t alone, just thankful that he does)

As a dog owner I enjoy your strip very much and today must be the most memorable. Thank you.

I love this strip – consistently. Thank you for such a gentle, concise, caring, real, sweet, loving and fabulous comic strip. It makes my Sunday for sure! The way that you portray a boy and his dog is the way that the relationship between every person and their dog should be. It is awesome. Today’s (day before Memorial Day) was wonderful. Thank you!!

I love it when Red and Rover visits his Uncle Jimmy every Memorial Day.
