"DON'T THANK YOUR VETERAN FRIEND/NEIGHBOR ON MEMORIAL DAY"

Meet Nick Kardonsky, U.S. military veteran and former neighbor of mine from when I lived across the street from Nick in the town of DuPont, Washington (U.S.A.). (DuPont is located near Joint Base Lewis McChord (Lewis is U.S. Army, McChord is U.S. Air Force. J.B.L.M. stretches for miles alongside Interstate 5 between Tacoma and Olympia, Washington.)

My wife and I were civilians amongst military families and spent many happy moments with the Kardonskys.

Nick posted a very thoughtful piece on Memorial Day thanks-givings, posted on Linked-In, and asked that readers share it. I'm happy to share it as my post of the week. Please read it and the accompanying reader responses.
