The ones that didn't take the chicken way out and run to Canada when they were drafted. </p><p> </p><p>Lucy, my condolences. I didn't know anybody personally that has lost somebody, but I sort of do now. I'll think about him during the local service.</p><p> </p><p>As far as coins for Memorial Day. the only commem that the mint has put out that speaks to the fallen is the Vietnam Wall memorial.
