On this day, RevolverGuy would like to pause for a moment to recognize the service members who gave “the last full measure of devotion.”
May God bless them, their families, and the United States of America.

Thanks, Mike. I’ve a Uncle who gave his life on Okinawa, on May 30 1945. A Navy Corpsman, he dragged or carried several Marine wounded to safety, while under fire, until he was struck down.
Since he fell on the original date for Memorial Day, it has always been a sacred day for us.
Never forget and pass down the stories!
