[il-talk] Memorial Day

[sharon howerton]

Don't forget the ones who have served, came back physically well but may 
wear mental scars that we don't know. I see one every day, my 26 year old 
son and former sailor. He enlisted a year early even before getting out of 
high school, and I think the military was rough for him, but then he went in 
just before 9-11--and only ten days after graduation from high school. 
Connie knows; she was a teacher for both of my sons.
And yes, our military, active and former, all branches, not just the Army, 
should be remembered.
