Ralph,

Thanks for the reminder on this holiday weekend.  Many great men and women
made the ultimate sacrifice to allow us the freedom we enjoy today; to them
Live Free Or Die was more than a motto.

With this Memorial Day we also mark the 25th anniversary of the fall of
Saigon.  I hope that we all remember the 58,000+ men that gave their lives
fighting for another nations freedom as well.

It is important that we keep them alive in memory and that no generation
forgets the sacrifices made by those before them.
