    While it is right to remember and honor them, there is something perverse about saying that dying in a war makes a person better (let alone best).

    to remember is at times a stirring of painto not remember makes it possible to repeat mistakesto remember those who serveto remember the cost of their serviceis hopefullyto remember that what we have – freedom – is not a free entitlement but a sacrifice of love if not by us by someone else

    Poor Thom…he tried to pay tribute to what he believes in and look what happened. All of you are entitled to your opinions, yet this is a cartoon site where children come for laughs…let’s end the confusion for all, exchange emails and take it to a separate site to where you guys can go at it till everyone is happy or too tired to continue.

    One question, which I don’t think you mentioned unless I missed it, and if it wasn’t stated, I am surprised no one has asked, so I will.

    ARE YOU A VETERAN? And my husband served HONORABLY in the 82nd Airborne, by the grace of God he didn’t go to Nam. My mother, rest her soul, WAS A LIEUTENANT IN THE ARMY NURSE CORPS. DURING WW2. Just so you know I am not talking out of my hat and before you ask me if I have any knowledge of the military.

    I want to say thank you to all of the men and women who died for us, especially the men of the civil war for fighting to make sure I could be a free man despite the color of my skin.

    Thank you, Thom! Awesome tribute sir! Instead of arguing why, it’s best just to remember all those lost and those that have served on this very special day. IMHO

    Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. Others have given selflessly of themselves so that you could have it so good.

    Have I served? No, but I would have if my country at the time (Canada) would have taken me.

    Perhaps instead of coming off as a pompous fool, you could have explained all that at the beginning! Go back and read your posts, perhaps you should have re-read them before you hit Submit, because IMHO you SOUNDED very obnoxious! AND BTW, my TWO VETERANS are because I have a VERY SMALL FAMILY! Not a big one like yours!

    AND THANKS FELLOW BABY!
