On this #NeverForgottenFriday, we remember
THIS WEEK'S FALLEN SERVICE MEMBERS
contributed by:

Thankfully, during this past week, there were no military service members killed while serving in the Global War on Terrorism combat zones of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Now, let's take this opportunity to acknowledge, remember, and thank all those service members who are deployed overseas.
We appreciate them defending our freedoms and pray for their safe return home.

So, in his honor, here's a few George Burns short jokes (and video below):
