For many, Memorial day is just a long weekend meant for BBQ's and family gatherings. For those of us who have served and know brothers and sisters in arms who have been wounded and who have paid the ultimate sacrifice, it is something very different. It's a day we remember the fallen. Please take a moment or two over the weekend and remember the fallen and the sacrifice they made to ensure our Country continues to be free.

Beautiful song! I want to do this at church, maybe on the 4th.
WOW! Its just so ..... WOW!
Have a great evening !
I saw a soldier kneeling down,
for this was the first quiet place he had found.
He had traveled through jungles, rivers and mud.
His hands were scared and toil-warned.
He folded his hands and looked to the sky...
I saw his tears, as they welled in his eyes.
He spoke to God, and this is what he said.
God Bless my men, who now lie dead;
I know not what You have in mind,
but when You judge, please be kind....
when they come before You, they will be poorly dressed
but will walk proudly, for they have done their best.
Their boots will be muddy and their clothes all torn...
but these clothes they have so proudly worn.
Their hearts will be still and cold inside,
for they have fought their best and did so with pride.
So please take care of them as they pass Your way...
the price of freedom they've already paid.
AMEN!
My family honors the veterans from all conflicts including those that fought for the South.
We owe our liberty and lives to the brave, devoted heroes - both fallen and living - that have happily dedicated their honor, integrity, families and lives to serving their Constitution, Country, fellow countrymen and posterity without even once second-guessing the sacrifices they've made in the name of Liberty.
A simple thank you just isn't enough to offer those who've selflessly sacrificed everything so that we may enjoy the most basic human right that much of the world never truly experiences -- Freedom.
This Memorial Day - we honor America's Finest, from the bottom of our hearts - Thank You, we'll Never Forget what you've done and continue to do for U.S.!
They marched into open fields and won our freedom with a musket and bayonet.
In two world wars they preserved our liberty and that of millions around the world.
They've answered every threat with the same resolve and courage.
No politician making speeches or policy ever won us anything.
It has always been a tired, dirty, hungry and scared rifleman who has marched towards the sound of the guns, and paid dearly for every freedom our nation has today.
God Bless you and rest in peace
War is fought for greed not freedom
And for the record, since you're obviously unaware of this -- Our Troops take an oath to protect and defend the CONSTITUTION against ALL enemies, both foreign and domestic. Not even the President of the United States can order them to defy their oaths, for they pledge no allegiance to the potus or the govt. They serve the document that requires the recognition of YOUR rights - even the ones you take for granted - NOT the govt.
On that note - if you don't care then why did you post? Seems awfully childish to stir up trouble with those that DO appreciate our troops.
