[QUOTE="ups1990, post: 537173, member: 20195"] As we spend memorial day with family and friends. Its easy to forget why we as Americans pay tribute to the many brave Men and Women who paid the ultimate price for our country. Many times this holiday as well as July 4th, becomes a time where we take the opportunity to take our loved ones to the beach or the park, but we fail to take the opportunity to reflect on the significance the day means. There are many retirees on my route. I stand in awe as they open the front door wearing a Pearl Harbor survivor hat or a garment that speaks to them taken part in famous WWII battles, like the battle of the Bulge. My mind wonders as to what their frail bodies and shaky hands have once done. Right before leaving, I tell them thank you. Thank you for your service. Tom Brokaw, calls them the "greatest generation" hard to argue with that. I like to add that whatever generation is fighting a war, those men and women are also part of this greatest generation.
