I would just like to thank all the people that went through so much so that we have the freedom to vote or not next week!

While the 60th anniversary of V-E day is rapidly approaching and quite worthy of celebration, WWII did not end until August, when the Japanese surrendered. I'll extend my thanks to all those who served, with a very special thought for a man I never met - my Uncle Peter, who won the Silver Star for his gallant actions to save his fellow Marines in the closing days of the battle of Okinawa.
