Brosnan served in the US Army during the Vietnam War, and he says there's no place he'd rather be on Memorial Day.

"I think it's great to be out here, to see everybody support the troops that are still fighting," he told KYW Newsradio.

Brosnan has two sons currently serving overseas.  And, he adds, "I would like to have them march with me some day."

Brosnan says one of his sons is in the Marine Corps and the other is in the Navy.  And he hopes next year they can all pay respects to fallen veterans together.
