Memorial Day

It always seems weird to wish someone a Happy Memorial Day.

Looking back, I'm proud of my military service.

And especially proud to have been a part of MASH for four years.   One thing we always did on that show was pay tribute to the brave men and women who served -- most of them not voluntarily.   They sacrificed for the good of the country -- many making the ultimate sacrifice.

As time marches on, the Korean conflict is becoming more and more just a blip, a brief footnote in history.   I honestly think that without MASH it would today be largely forgotten.  So to m, that's the show's greatest legacy -- to keep alive the memory of that conflict and honor those who served. 

And to all the people who served in Desert Storm and Vietnam and all the other wars/police actions/whatever -- let's not forget a single one, ever. 

I salute you one and all.
