To Jane, Julia, Lee (Graveyardbride), JahaRa, wolfscratch, markw, idk7704 and any other members of our group who served in the US armed forces: Thank you for your service! On this day, we honor all who served in the US military.
In the Southern states, people also honor their Confederate dead.

You usually "like" the animated graphics on these special messages, but you didn't "like" this one. Is that because it says "God Bless America"? Have you returned to the Dark Side?

Because I commented, I didn't click "Like". I actually didn't put that much thought into the graphic.

To add:
When someone says "God bless you" to me, I just say thank you. I don't care what religion it comes from, all the matters to me is that the person meant to wish me their highest wishes. It's all about intention.
Similarly, I don't get all freaked out if someone says to me Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Blessed Yule, whatever. I appreciate the sentiment, and even say the same thing in return.

While we are on the subject, in case there are people here wondering how I can, as a pacifist, be thankful to Veterans and even people currently serving in the armed forces - again, it's about intent.
I am honestly thankful to any person who is willing sacrifice their own life in order that I and others may have live more peaceful and happy lives. I am thankful for their altruism.
