Less that 10% of the current US population has ever served in the United States Military. About 1% of the population is currently Active Duty.

Those are small numbers given the freedom we all enjoy and the sacrifice they have provided.

God bless those brave souls who paid the ultimate price for our liberty and freedom.

Remember Memorial Day is not just another 3 day weekend and the unofficial start of summer.

We had our Scouts down at RI Veterans Cemetery yesterday morning to place flags at the headstones of the members there.

It was at least misting and at times fairly raining but no complaints from the kids as they placed their flags.

i make it a point anytime i see a serviceman in uniform i say thanks,but i don't see too many.i was at a resturant and saw older woman wheeling in her husband and i noticed a ball cap he was wearing.ball cap said purple heart vetrean,i walked over to his table and said thank you and he said no thank you.2 weeks ago i was walking road into fishing spot and noticed fisherman putting his rod into truck and asked him anything doing and he said no.i then noticed vietnam vet on license plate and said thank you for your service and he looked at me and said thanks.
