HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

Today is Memorial Day, the American holiday to remember those American service men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

To those of us in South Korea today, Memorial Day is a reminder of those Americans who died for South Korea to be free. Had it not been for them, the South Korea that we know today would not even exist and none of us would be here today.

And to this day countless American service men and women continue to put their lives on the line to defend the Republic of Korea from North Korean imperialism, tyranny and nuclear annihilation.

God Bless the USA! Happy Memorial Day!

Memorial day tends to focus on WW1, WW2 and maybe the Korean War perhaps, even though it should now include Vietnam,Afganistan,Granada and now Iraq. I see plaques everywhere for the major world wars. Someone should add seperate plaques for those who died in the latter wars that politics, and politicians seem to have too big a hand in.

Here's a link to 'The Last Doughboy', an opinion piece by George Will about the last surviving American soldier from World War I. Teaser: He had an even worse experience in World War II.
