Memorial Day

[Doc45]

Memorial Day is a time for reflection, to remember those that sacrificied and gave all defending the freedom and liberty that we enjoy.

Take a moment, say a prayer to honor them.

I'm very fortunate my father returned safely from WWII (3rd Army, 301st Signal Corp) to meet my mother and bring my older siblings and I into this world. I am especially thankful my son returned safely from his 3 tours split between Iraq and Afghanistan. We've lost friends, they will never be forgotten nor their sacrifice taken lightly.

Mick-Boy thank you for telling me a little about your fallen brethren, they will be honored and remembered.

as my grandfather used to say.
(glasses raised)
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Thank you to all who have and do serve. Sorry for you losses Mick

My Dad and his 5 brothers fought in WW2. They all made it, none of them really talked about what they had done and I never really asked. Wish I had.

Remember the fallen.

Our military families, our brothers and sisters in arms, will always be in our memories and our hearts.

Every single day I thank God that I was born in this country because of the greatness of all those before me that have been willing to sacrifice on my behalf.

Damn well said. I do the same thing.

Finally finished my Memorial Day repeat viewing of "Band of Brothers". Tom Hanks may be an Obama-loving leftist but he sure knows how to honor the men who fought in WW II.
