May Memorial Day Month

[gentlemanrob]

As we approach Memorial Day remember all those we have lost of all wars. Something Dave and I have come up with for the cemetery part of the Site this month is to have everyone visit at least one Veteran of any war who lost their life in the fight. Then post a picture on the site remember no copyright photos allowed. Also if you happen to have access to a picture of the person that could be good as well Your also welcome if you want to write a little profile on the person. Your welcome to use the style I use when I post the General birthdays or your own style. I appreciate everyone who participates remember our Veterans of all wars.
