Happy Memorial Day to all in the US and as in the UK on Remembrance Day, here's to the troops that have defended the USA, best they can and given their lives while doing so and also our thoughts to those families who have lost loved ones through cowardly ambushes or those lost when attacks are made on innocent civilians.
We can only hope and pray that one day, the world better can once again be a better place to live and raise our kids in.
On with the news!
