A moment of silence for the DU'ers who have passed away during those 8 years of Chimp's term

[Hawkeye-X]

A light tonight for those who have passed away in the last 8 years:

Andy Stephenson (God_n_Bush_Cheney and Andy_Stephenson)
Jeff Matson (notsamj)
Scott Lowery (Khephra)
Alarcojon
SapphireBlue
oneeighty
junk
playahata1
Dale Peters (Monkeyman)
Erma Knox (erma)

A special remembrance:
Stephanie Tubbs-Jones
Paul Wellstone (loved that man!)

And those thousands of Americans who have died honorably serving our country.

Also a BIG THANK YOU to the veterans who have served.

You may add on to those I have forgotten.

These people have never forgotten you - and we have victory at hand, thanks to these people who have set things in motion.

Hawkeye-X
