This diary is meant to be more than just a roll call for veterans here on Daily Kos.
I'm a veteran of the US Air Force. I served from Oct 1980 - Oct 1984. I didn't serve during a time of war, but I'm proud of my service just the same. For all those here on KOS please post to this diary your service.
Happy Memorial Day to all the families of those men and women we've lost.
From Wiki:
Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (May 25 in 2009). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the civil war), it was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action.
