A way I helped remember was to go to the American Legion Post pancake breakfast and left a little extra as a donation. Thanking all of those who have and are helping.
I also remember my dad, who has now been gone 10 years. He helped out in WWII, touring France, Italy, etc. He didn't talk about it a lot, except that he was a paymaster, and he got mumps and measles while in different countries.
My mamaw and my papaw were in the Navy during WWII. One of my "dads" was in Viet Nam. My supervisor at work was in the Army (I do believe it was), and I believe my uncle is also a veteran. Another of my friends is in the Reserves, thinking about going full-time, and two of my other friends in the Army currently ARE full-time and are over in Iraq. So Memorial Day might be for remembering the ones who aren't here anymore, but I find I usually keep all of them in mind : )
Oh. Any my husband's dad was in Viet Nam, but he spent his whole "tour" in Hawaii getting a tan :PPP
