A special "Thank You" to the men and women who are serving in the armed forces today, a tip of the hat, and raise the glass!

Stay safe and godspeed!
To you fine members that have served in the past, a heartfelt "Thank You" for your service to this country!
To those that have given the ultimate sacrifice, I bow my head in remembrance, and with a tear in my eye say that words can never express the gratitude that myself, my family, and our nation as a whole owe you.
Cover them over with beautiful flowers,
Deck them with garlands, those brothers of ours,
Lying so silent by night and by day
Sleeping the years of their manhood away.
Give them the meed they have won in the past;
Give them the honors their future forcast;
Give them the chaplets they won in the strife;
Give them the laurels they lost with their life.
~Will Carleton
