Salute.
The Pledge of Allegiance and Star Spangled Banner were the first two things i memorized. Being a refugee, I'm proud of this country and this is my Home. I became an American citizen as soon as i hit 5 years living in this country. It has been 25 years now and i'm living the American dream. My Pop left everything behind and took us on a little boat to escape the communist regime. He sacrificed so much so i can live the American dream (i'm tearings just thinking of him). Just in case anyone care, he's a Viet Nam Vet. He joined the American military when the US were in Viet Nam in 1954-75. Thanks Pop for everything you've done for me.

Thank you for posting this.

I just don't have the words that expresses how good this made me feel. But for sure, I am proud to stand tall and say, "This man is my friend and fellow citizen."

A big thanks to all vets for your service.

Memorial Day is so much more than the opening of the swimming pool, picnics, and sales at the stores. Not that any of that is bad, it just helps diminish the true meaning.

This 'Nam vet salutes and thanks all who served, and all now serving. I also thank those who didn't serve, but remember and respect those who did.

GOD BLESS THE USA!!!

I want to say THANK YOU to those that serve past and present. Without you men and women, we wouldn't be able to type these messages of thanks! Freedom isn't free...THANK YOU for fighting for our freedom.

Thank you, Tim, for starting this thread. Memorial Day isn't about the sales at the malls or the cookouts....its about those that have served and paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we are able to eat with family and friends.

Reading this really makes me proud to be an American. There are some Americans who doesn't even display this much pride. I want to thank you for sharing your story and thank you to your Dad for serving our country. God bless you and your family.
