Re: Memorial Day contest, READ

I was going to post in here when I saw this contest, but was afraid it would mess up entries if it was based on replies in the thread. Since others are posting and whatnot...

I'd like to wish Veterans and their families a belated happy Memorial Day, and a great thanks for the sacrifice and service!
