There is little to nothing about a parade that makes me think of soldiers. Seeing what they went through to serve our country, now that brings gratitude to mind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11769241624759010694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-57318326090616462782009-05-25T12:10:36.568-05:002009-05-25T12:10:36.568-05:00You're right, most people don't know the differenc...You're right, most people don't know the difference between the holidays.

Service people should get the day off, but the rest of you can keep working. Combat vets get to demand BJ's on command, or else you have to give us your day's pay.<br /><br />Note - comment made from my cubicle. Thanks to the recession hype, I no longer get holidays off.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08040058320473775641noreply@blogger.com
