MilBlogs Memorial Day

The MilBlogs Pond is ripe with Memorial Day posts; a fishing trip through the 70-odd Ring members (plus a couple others) world-wide yields the following catch.

Hook from Afghanistan.

Budachaegi chimes in from Korea.

Chapomatic from "out to sea".

Sarah from Germany.

JB from his sanctuary

And Grim from his Hall.

Geek from somewhere in his Empire.

John Donovan from Castle Argghhh!

Dogtulosba has a briefing for you.

While Smash provides an interesting link.

And OkieMinnie does too (several, in fact).

While Baldilocks has some keen observations. (Of course)

And here's two entries from Cassandra here and here.

And a pair from Blackfive (One and two)

Now let the poets have their say, via:

Love in war

An Army Wife

and

Sgt Mom.

On a somewhat related note, in a media celebration in honor of Memorial Day The Denver Post apparently offered cash to former Bronco Reggie Rivers to drop his pants and take a dump on the graves of all who ever served; or perhaps to simply point out his superiority to them all.

Milbloggers responded.

Brad R. Torgersen, Reservist and site owner of Pool of Thought has an email exchange with our brave Sunday hero. Credit the man for responding to criticism, assuming he didn't have a slave do it for him.

Baldilocks, Hook, Blackfive and Horologium all have something to say.

And, this Memorial Day J Crue at doubleplusgood infotainment doesn't have a related post - he's gotten married and has paused his blogging accordingly. (Whipped, says I) ;>). Congratulate them here.

Same for Dagger Jag, who got a couple weeks off from duty in Iraq for his wedding.

Meanwhile, Mr and Mrs Blackfive celebrate their seventh anniversary.

Congratulations to them all! The Mrs and I will celebrate our 20th this fall. But should I be accepted in a certain volunteer request I'll spend it in Iraq. To early to say now even what the odds are of that happening, but that uncertainty is part of the program.

Treasure every day.
