Happy Memorial Day from Rocky Top Talk

Photo by BL1961

In honor of Memorial Day, I would like to personally thank all of the RTT community members (all you lurkers, too!) who have served or are serving in our military. Your service is appreciated beyond measure.

We would be honored if you would use the comment section below to identify yourselves (you can just use your screen name, if you wish) and where and when you served so that we can devote the day and the post to giving you a virtual round of deserving admiration.

Like most everyone else, I'll be taking the day off, but I'll return tomorrow with a special announcement and to kick off the 2008 version of the best plays of the football season. See ya tomorrow.

-- Joel

Roll Call

2LT Aerobab, USAF, Active Duty

Veteran of various training programs for newly comissioned officers, provider of support services for our warfignters, and master of my cubicle!

I miss being a regular here at RTT and maybe a few of you even miss me around here, but it’s just another example of a core value of our military…“Service Before Self”. Thanks to all who serve(d).

“People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”

Thanks to all of you

I suspect there are more out there that just either haven’t seen this yet (guessing hooper’s in this category) or just decided not to comment. In any case, to the four of you and any others seeing this — thanks for your service.

Yeah, that's me. When I get my computer back, I'll be a little more current.

4 years commissioned USN. Medically ineligible for sea duty, but faithfully worked hard for my “crossed ball-points” warfare pin!
