I have mixed feelings on it...I do think that out of respect to our fallen service people and their families that we really should try to refrain from that and let memorial day be theirs, and that is what I am going to do. But I also feel that we that walked the walk and not just the talk.... can welcome home a brother anytime we want....we earned that right not just for us but for everyone.....Its a free country ...If somebody wants to thank a vet or welcome them home ...they should go ahead if they are compelled too. Thanks for keeping this discussion civil.
