Subject: [SUVCW] Memorial Day
Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2007 23:47:06 -0400


This would be a good discussion thread for this list. I personally think
there is too little discussed on the matter -- pro and con. Remember that
there are some who do support the move, but there are some, including fellow
brothers, that do not. I hope that if there are those on the list who
prefer it to remain on Monday will speak up on their perspective as the
SUVCW webpage as much on their perspective.
