We Still Do Not Forget

I was going to write a Memorial Day post, and then I ran across this speech by Ben Stein, which is much better than anything I could write.

Nobody could possibly put into words the respect and gratitude I hold and feel for the men and women of the American armed forces.

To each and every one of you, I say:

Thank you.

It is not enough. But then whatever could be? And yes, I know your answer already: "It is an honor to serve, sir." I believe you; and I can only say that I honor your service.
