Red and Rover by Brian Basset for May 31, 2021

To all the service members (past and present) — Thank you for your service!!

E-7, USAF, (Ret)

Wonderful cartoon. Proud wife of former E-5 USAF.

We have way too many leaders today that despise our military and what they have done to make this country free. That’s one of the biggest shames I can think of.

Thank you Mr. Basset.

Thank-you William Joseph “Phil” Phillips U.S. Navy WW II POW Pacific front, George “Skinny” Blackmon U.S. Army WW II fought in the battle of Anzio, and Thomas Alva “Sonny” Phillips U.S. Navy Vietnam veteran, and all other veterans who has served the great country.

Red is well dressed today!!

Awwwwwwwwww.

Thanks to all the Uncle Jimmys

This says it all. Thank you, Brian.

Well done Brian! Thank you to all your family members service as well! Looking @ my grandfather’s picture. Dr. I.D. Thrasher Medical Base Commander Guadalcanal WW II.

Of the 40 some comics I follow this is the first (I read them alphabetically) to honor today. Thank you Mr. Basset. (turns out 2 others Tank McNamara and Wizard of ID did too)

This brought a tear to my eye. Thank you, Mr Basset.

Always such a poignant tribute to all who served…we thank you

A marvelous tribute. Thanking you through misty eyes.

That kiss is from all of us.

Thank you for remembering!

My Grandpa fought in WW 1 and buried at Arlington with my Grandma and Uncle who was in WW2.

This is a keeper!

Love this one! Thank you!

That’s what’s all about thank you for your service

There are CURRENT MILITARY MEMBERS who participated in the insurrection, and in our military, police forces, etc. ……get a clue!

Red is so adorable! Thanks for recognizing this very important day!

I have lost all the heroes in my family except two, Naval vets! My dear brother and brother-in-law.

Thank you for your service…I love you!

I have (still living) an Uncle Jimmy who served in the navy during the Korean War. So did Dad. My oldest brother (still living) served in both Persian Gulf Wars in the navy. My twin brother served during peace time(?) during the Reagan era. Thanks to all who willingly served and serve.

I had (have?) an Uncle Ted. I went to visit his grave in France after I got out of collage. Their records indicated that his wife moved his remains back to the States, without bothering to tell my Mom. :(

Thank you Brian Basset for the cartoon. Poignant!

An example for us all, especially children of this generation…..

Like most veterans, I served and was glad to do my duty and expect no thanks or other recognition. However, for veterans who were damaged by the experience, give them all the energy and assistance they need. We all owe them, big time.

Thank you Brian and Red for that wonderful tribute!

We can’t even get along on Memorial Day?!

Thank you, Brian, for such a beautiful tribute in remembrance of those lost during too many wars. Memorial Day is a very solemn day for my family. My dad served in the Army Air Corps in Europe during WWII—he came home but would never talk about his experiences there.

Today’s strip brings tears to my eyes. Thank you Brian for simply putting what today is all about.

George Bush Sr. was our last president to serve in a war. All the others, including Bush Lite, used their privilege to avoid military service. And people wonder why the country is going to hell in a handbasket…

Too many people have no respect or thoughts of Memorial Day! Very sad…

Thank you Red and Brian! Miss you Rover!

This, by far is one of the best tributes to our lost soldiers…..Well done, Mr. Basset! It struck me and I teared up, nicely done indeed!

God Speed to my brethren who were taken too soon. Till we meet again… thank you.

Nice tribute, Mr. Basset. Thank you

God Bless Our Military and Veterans. You have and continue to sacrifice so much for us. RIP those who have gone on before. You have a much better home now.

Thanks to all who posted links today.

“And please forgive us for not learning anything and making things an even bigger mess.”

Red looks unnatural like this.

Thank you. A true tribute to Memorial Day.

What a lovely strip today! Thanks, Brian.

God bless our military. They and the police are the true heroes of the USA

Thank-you Brian Basset. The strip was perfect.

Thank you for today’s strip. Very nice touch and as a veteran I appreciate it.

Very powerful strip today. Thank you for your service.

This one got me… Nicely done, Mr. Basset.
