One of my former soldiers that used to drive with me at the tail end of mile long convoys hauling jet fuel posts on Facebook:

 

"All soldiers like to barbecue and drink beer.  If you don't do this on Memorial Day weekend you are dishonoring your country."

 

As he is currnently Special Forces in Afghanistan, I suggest you all heed his warning.

 

In this forum I feel it is unnecessary to say pause for a few minutes every now and then, but please do.

 

If I and others have fought for your freedom, please enjoy the gift of the first barbecue of the summer!  and have one for Jose "java Joe" Velez

POWERFUL and WELL DONE!

As Dave said. Thank you for sharing.

While I did not know him I currently serve with and have deployed with more than a few of the soldiers in that video.
