One thing that really bothered me was the beggars on the walkways that were trying to take advantage of people and their respect for veterans. On Monday my wife and I walked by 2 people both of which I doubt were veterans. The one that really sticks out in my mind was in a wheelchair holding a sign stating that he was a wounded veteran. As I walked by I pointed out to my wife the muscle tone in his legs. I did see a huge procession of motorcycles on Sunday while visiting Hoover Dam. They were on a Memorial Day ride to honor our veterans. Our tour bus driver asked us all to have a moment of silence as the procession moved by. My thanks to you and all others that have served or are serving in our military. I just recently returned from a Vegas vacation over the holiday weekend.

Your welcome. :-) While in the Army I not only got to serve my country, but I got lots of pieces of paper and metal… and I have the privilege of Anthrax vaccine running through my veins (a special treat everyone should enjoy). :-)

Also thank you for your time served in the forces. Because people like you volunteered, even for a limited time---well, it means that my husband had the option not to. Love ya, Bro.
