[eia] US Memorial Day remembrance

["Bill Jaffe" <billj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We can't see each other over the cyber wires (yet), but as a child of a vet,
married to a 28.5 year retired LTC, her uncle dropped 4 times from the 82nd
in WWII, and her father was the bomb officer on the Enola Gay, loaded the
bombs onto the planes for Nagasaki and Hiroshima... Oh and we've got 1
cousin in Iraq - God be with them all.

We sometimes forget that our paper counter strength losses represented real
people in real campaigns. It's fun, but also worth remembering.
