Today is a sad day for me and a lot of the guys I serve with. In the past, Memorial day was a day off from work filled with BBQ, family reunions and long drives. Sure, the intent was to honor the fallen, but they were a bunch of dead guys from a long time ago that died in some far away place. The biggest tragedy always seemed to be how much gas prices went up on just in time for Memorial day.
This year its different. It is more personal. We are honoring guys that were just here—some of which haven't finished making final trip home yet. It has been a bad couple of weeks. We have taken some bad losses lately.
