Well that's interesting. After our church service today we had a memorial service for a church member that passed away on Easter Sunday. many of her relatives were of course at the service. One of them was a nephew that is on active duty with the US Army. He was in his dress uniform...I don't know how many church members shook his hand and said.."Thank you for your service".
