You served; thank you. "Happy" is not the same as giddy or silly; it need not mean frivolous or glib. We've all seen that the subtlety of language is often lost as we attempt to send meaning to the computer screens of others across a forum. The map is not the territory; it's not wrong to cut somebody some slack for not being Hemingway on-line.

As we remember the fallen, I'm thankful that they lived, and I'm grateful for what they accomplished. I'm happy to live in a world that is better than it might have been, but for them.

Veterans: thank you all.
