Yes, John, with his usual articulatness, nailed it. Memorial Day is for honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of the country. We veterans have Veterans Day. Nonetheless, that doesn't mean thanks can't be offered to the veterans as well and, speaking as a veteran, I am grateful for the inclusion. Being included with the fallen is an honor. Thanks guys.
