Lest we forget... It is a solemn charge to us all. Since I got back from Vietnam in 1970, it has been my privilege to serve in the Honor Guard for our little Legion post Memorial Day service many times, only missing when my wife had surgery.

Over the years, I have helped bury the last WWI vet in our post, and now most of the WWII vets, including my father. This is duty, too, I think, and one I am proud and honored to perform. The ones of us lucky enough to get back owe it to the rest.

Thanks for the reminder to us all, Puffer. We must never forget.
