For those of you new to the Military Monday phenomenon, please visit this page (my original MM post which explains it thoroughly) and then check out the archives to view the other 5 posts. I also encourage you to post your own reminder of Military Monday, be it on your blog, Twitter (be sure to add #MilitaryMonday to your tweet!), Facebook, or MySpace (and if you’d like, follow Cupcake Rehab on those sites as well; find us via Twitter, Facebook & MySpace).
Since I had to skip last week, here’s twice the usual amount of names this week. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers (if you do that sort of thing) and never forget the sacrifice they made for the United States and its military.
