Memorial Day open thread

It is Memorial Day and many of us have the day off. The day is one set aside to remember and honor the fallen soldiers who died in defense of our great country.

Many of us will have parties and barbecues and family.

We here at Revenge of the Birds want to take a moment to thank those who serve our country, who have served our country and to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

I personally have a friend who nearly died in one of his tours in Iraq. I am lucky to still have him around.  

This open thread is so we all can do a couple of things -- we can use it to express our thanks and we can use it to share our plans, so we can get to know each other more as a Cardinals community. 

Enjoy your afternoon and evening, but remember why we have this day to celebrate.
