Take the time to participate in one of the many remembrances in your community.
They gave months, years, blood, sweat, tears and lives. Give them a few hours.
Celebrations will be held on Monday at Oakland’s Mountain View Cemetery, Alameda’s USS Hornet, San Francisco’s Presidio and USS Pompanito, and San Bruno’s Veteran Cemetery, among other places.

Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o’er,
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking,
Dream of battled fields no more.
Days of danger, nights of waking. -Sir Walter Scott

Thank you for this Ira. A friend of mine fought in Vietnam and I have heard many stories first hand.
