Amen!

Anyone else notice the steady decline in the "grandstand patriotism" we saw immediately after 9/11?

Hope the holiday weekend rekindles the spirit...

Whenever I come across an old vet,I thank them.I also like to go to a local cemetary Say a few prayers of thanks to all that have served.My SCV camp will also be putting small battle flags on the graves Of the Confederate vets.God bless America.Michael Rybikowsky.

Good for you Michael!! My father is 81 and is in the advanced stage of prostrate cancer. I may not have him much longer. He was among those involved in the D-Day invasion and a survivor of the Battle of the Bulge. He's a hero and I'll make sure he knows it!! He lost a lot of friends there. To all his fellow heroes...Well.. thank you just isn't enough.

Whats sad to think is that someday the people who actually saw these events will all be gone.
have a safe weekend and buckle up, and don't speed if your in Florida

The American Flag stickers on the car (windows "not the body") are an excellent way to remind others.

i saw a sign today that said [something like]

REMEMBER OUR VETERANS- all gave some, some gave ALL.

i thought that was neat. happy and safe holiday to all!

God Bless America!

Thank You Lord for ALL we have.

...couldn't agree more in remembering our unsung Hero's out there, past and present!

I have the special opportunity of working and supporting our US Army troops day in and day out at Ft. Lewis, WA. Most of the guys I work with, which amounts to a Brigade size element, will be deployed come January, most likely to Afganistan to replace the 10th Mountain from Ft. Drum, NY.

Knowing that these guys will be on the front lines, so to speak, gives me a thankful feeling that I don't have to be there anymore. Some of these men and women are fresh out of High School, they look and act so young. What they have ahead of them will help them grow up very quickly, some more than others.

Most of the time, we deal with life on a day by day basis and never give the thought to the Men and Women who wear the Uniform, especially Oversees, that's a shame. This is the only day we celebrate their memory, so if anyone out there has the opportunity to to shake a Veterans, Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, or Marines hand, do so at your first chance. You won't believe the appreciation you receive back!

Enough of the soapbox speel, God Bless America.
And God Bless our Servicemen and Servicewomen!

This year, my birthday falls on Memorial Day! Or rather, Memorial Day falls on my Birthday.

So Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone has a safe weekend.



(BTW: Expect many new photos! I'm going to get a HOT new Digicam!!!)
