If some of you can place politics aside this Memorial Day weekend ==> take a moment and remember.....

Couldn't agree more, hope all will respect and remember what this holiday is about!!

Amen. This is from an e-mail that I received a few weeks back in remembrance of memorial day from a few buddies of mine. I wonder if anyone else got the same chain letter.

It is the
VETERAN,
not the preacher,
who has given us freedom of religion.

It is
the VETERAN,
not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.

It is
the VETERAN,
not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.

It is
the VETERAN,
not the campus organizer,
who has given us freedom to assemble.


It is
theVETERAN,
not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.



It is
the VETERAN,
not the politician,
Who has given us the right to vote.

Lest we shall never ever forget
The priceless actions of military vets
Forever shall our Flag wave for all to see
The price for FREEDOM is never free!!!

Possibly the forerunner to Memorial Day

I remember. Thank you.

To all those who have served and who are serving now...



Thank you so much!!

Prayers to all active members, and a moment of silence for all our fallen heroes.

For Every Service Man or Woman I see, I will buy them a drink.

Last week I went to Dixie Flag to purchase an several American Made Flag to honordeceased friends and family members, and placed them on thier graves.

I SHALL NOT FORGET.

I spent Fri and Sat in Arlington with some good friends.

Peace.
