Remember Our Fallen Memorial Day
Remember Our Fallen Memorial Day ^

Posted on 05/28/2005 12:25:55 PM PDT by anonymoussierra

As we pause to remember our fallen comrades this Memorial Day, we need to take time to give thought to their families, their friends and to those who love them. We cannot measure the depth of their loss nor can we comprehend the true measure of their sorrow. They served their nation well, standing between the enemy, and us, between good and evil, between freedom and tyranny. Their service came not as a burden but as a duty.

[end]

To properly honor them, we must speak of them in real and human terms. They were more than our friends: They were our buddies, And they were closer than family in many ways because we developed a kinship with them that only those who have experienced the realities of war can understand. We honor their memory, but at the same time we mourn them. We are grateful for the privilege of knowing them and having them included in our lives. What is finest about our nation--individual freedom, justice, equality and opportunity -- has been sustained because of them. And for that every American is in their debt.

[end]

Memorial Day

Memorial Day, May 30 (traditional), is a sacred day to all war veterans. America's collective consciousness demands that all citizens be reminded of the deaths of their fellow countrymen during wartime. By honoring the nation's war dead, we preserve their memory and thus their service and sacrifice. All U.S. flags should be displayed at half-staff during the morning hours. At noon, they should be raised back to full-staff.

You have done good, again! You are as patriotic of Americans as any American I see, and love our country more than some of the libs do here in our country. Keep loving us and keep being an ally, Poland! Thank you, Sara--for helping to remind us of our brave men and women who protect those around the world who love freedom and liberty. God bless them all--and God bless you!

Anonymous, I have dial-up and it is HARD to see My Comments (my pings) when there are photos in a ping. This seems to be a hard thing to explain so I am asking that you take my name off of all your ping lists.

If this does not make sense, please let me know.
