Salute to those honorable men and women

[paul]

On this Memorial Day I salute all those who paid the ultimate price to help secure our freedom.

To any and all on this board whose relative or relatives may have fallen in battle. Words are not enough to let you know how much their sacrifice meant to our nation and the nations of the world. We honor them this day.

Eternally greatful

Same here!

I had the opportunity last night to shoot a news story about our local chapter of the Pearl Harbor Survivors' Association disbanding. They all voted to disband because of everyone's declining health. Only eight members were present last night (that is all that remained), and it was a very touching story. When the vote was taken to disband, I don't think there was a dry eye in the room.

It is a real treasure for me to be able to have heard their stories of Pearl Harbor yesterday -- they recounted exactly where they were, the friends they lost, how they coped with the war afterward. What an experience to be sitting in the same room with some of our nation's finest from the Greatest Generation.
