This song will hit home to some..
Remember why we are cooking out, for those who didn't make it back (and some who did, but never really made it back) <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/gh1m0eC1004" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

I get irritated when someone says " have a happy Memorial Day!". It's not a happy day at all. God bless all those who gave so much for our country.
|
To all that have served - thank you.
|
|
Amen.
May we raise another generation that will serve . |
God bless America

Did we go to the cemetery to day?
|
^^
I did. In our family it was always called "Decoration Day" and we all went to the cemetary to put flowers on the graves of family members. It was a solemn occasion. I think it lost some of its meaning when they changed it from May 30 to the last Monday in May. It's just another 3-day weekend to a lot of people now. |
^^^yes^^^^
words are EZ, the doing much more difficult. |
On Friday I went by the little country cemetery in Central Texas where my folks are buried. I put a flag by each marker. Here they are in uniform. Dad was in the Army Air Corps and Mom was an Army Nurse.

Just came across this and had to post it. The soundtrack is probably my favorite song I can't listen to. Ten years of war, and thousands of lives lost, and STILL a single Marine Sgt comes home to this...it's what makes this country great.
