 Good Morning,well, as Todd is just heading towards [zzz], I am getting up and start a  new day. Have a good night, Todd! For obvious reasons, we do not have a "Memorial Day" in Germany, but maybe have one in the future. In the last 100 years, German soldiers were the ones your people had to fight twice.  Only recently, we have become brothers in arms, fighting the Taliban side by side. I take Memorial Day as an occasion to pay my respect to the 43 German servicemen, who lost their lives  in Afghanistan, and to their families.I pay my respect to all people, wherever they are in the world, who risk their lives to protect freedom and liberty, and to all who lost their lives in the process of doing so. My family has not much of a military tradition. Both my grandfathers served during WW I, but not in WW II any more. My father was too young at the outbreak of WW II and too ill at the end of it. My brother did his term in the German Air Force as a radar operator and I have been a civilian all my life, although I once had volunteered for the Navy. They did not want me [:-^] Chloe, just a coffee and a breakfast bagel for me, please n´ thanks.The sun´s out here in northern Germany, but it is way too cold for the season. In all meanings, May has not been a good month. Have a good weekend!
