Share Your Memorial Day Tributes

I know many of us think about and honor our fallen brothers and sisters in arms EVERY day... but do you have any specific and/or public ways to remember them and remind others why we celebrate Memorial Day?

Who will you be thinking of this Memorial Day?

What do you do to remember your fallen brothers and sisters?

I have a local bar which reserves a seat for my friend Cpl Matthew Henderson, KIA Al Anbar, Iraq on May 26th 2004. The seat isn't to be disturbed, the staff ensures it remains empty, it has an open beer sitting at it with a small flag. There's a note on the bar that has his service information and reminds anyone who reads it that he is not forgotten.

Good buddy of mine died in Fallujah Iraq. He died within hours of his son being born. As the red cross message was being sent about his son, so was the one to his wife.

Him and his family will forever be in my thoughts.

Rest in peace brother.
