Mod note: I just posted this thread this morning, and was hoping to kick it, but it was already archived -

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

playahata1
Dale Peters (Monkeyman)
Erma Knox (erma)

A special remembrance:
Stephanie Tubbs-Jones
Paul Wellstone (loved that man!)
Studs Terkel
Paul Newman
Madelyn Dunham (Obama's grandmother)

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.
