While you're out and about or with family this 3 day weekend, please take time to remember those of our military that couldn't be.

 

Amen to that. We wouldn't have our country without them.

Here is a tidbit to digest...

 

Just remember------ HOME OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE.............

 

Memorial Day service here at 11am tomorrow. In this part of the world it's still regularly referred to as "Decoration Day". My local SCV Camp is one of the movers and shakers behind this annual service along with the two American Legion posts.

Plan was to clean two CSA gravesites tomorrow afternoon after the service but rain may postpone that to another day. No higher honor for a deceased soldier than for someone to maintain his grave and make sure he isn't forgotten. Sometimes there are no descendants to do it, and there have been several that required chainsaws to clean off the overgrowth, they'd been neglected so long.

Remember your soldiers, and if you see a Veteran thank him.

 

We should all give a ****. This is the only thread here and it has four comments. Gee what's wrong with today's world?

FOUR!!!

 

That is a profound statement. I thank you for making it as many may not realize the significance of the day.

It really made an impact on me.

 

I saw this over on facebook, but found it moving.

 

You are real. I respect that. My brother before me has two middle names because of an uncle I never knew.


Respect

 

Remember their sacrifice on this day.

 

FREEDOM, isn't FREE . . . It came at the cost of those who laid down their lives so we might have it, and at the cost of the families who bore the grief of their loss! REMEMBER

 

Just got up, put my flag out, and at 10AM going to our local cemetery for the memorial day program. I'm a Vet army 1966-1968.

 

Memorial Day should be a solemn day. Unfortunately, for many people it has just become a time for a long weekends, cookouts and time on the lake. Those things are fine but please take a moment to remember the real reason for this holiday. It is not a time for celebration but a time of remembrance. I see that picture of the wall and remember the two people I went to school with that have their names on that wall. And please remember the families of these fallen heros. God Bless The USA.

 

Bless those who gave the greatest sacrifice for all who live in this country.

 

My table is set for dinner tonight already. There will be one extra place setting at the table in rememberance of those who fell during conflict and or peace. My flag is out too.

It's the least I can do.

 

I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day. Don't forget those that served.
