I want to invite anyone and everyone and their families and friends to attend this years Memorial Day Service and Tribute. If you have never gone to this honorable day's service you will be surprised. Most local media will let us know on Saturday and Sunday of times and locations. Many services follow a nice tribute parade. Now more than ever the men and women of yesterday's, today's and the future's military should be given an hour of our time. This is just a strong suggestion but it's your call. I have been taking my kids since they were born........ They like going and with some questions and answers they catch on real fast what an important day this is. I know most of us like to spend time with the family and friends on this nice 3 day weekend that kicks off a great summer to follow. If you can't make it to the service or parade please do this much..... Take a moment away from the activities your doing and speak to others about this day and it's meaning. Tell a story of your service or maybe your Mom or Dad served, how about an uncle who died in Vietnam, Maybe Grandpa was in WWII? I know this might come off in the wrong way but I mean it........Spread a good word or share a memory and remember what Memorial Day is...........

Thanks..........

God Bless our Troops and God Bless the USA...... :D
 
I fly the flag everyday and night. That's my Memorial day and Veteran's day THANK YOU to veterans. I volunteer at the local military museum. Just picked up an application to volunteer at the veterans administration. I served four years in the AF and salute every person who defends freedom. To all the other veterans on this forum...THANK YOU for the right to live free in the USA.

Good ideas bear repeating.


Thanks to all who serve. To my Legion comrades:

to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order; to foster and perpetuate a one hundred percent Americanism; to preserve the memories and incidents of our associations in the great wars; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community,state and nation; to combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses; to make right the master of might; to promote peace and goodwill on earth; to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness.​

edited for a friend, whom I never met but respect.

Now is not the time to fight, that day is coming soon enough.

For right now is not the time or the place for it.

On the day that is coming, I will say thank you to our Troops and for the Veterans, that have placed themselves in harms way so that we are able to have the Freedoms that we do, and to say, God Bless.

How delightful. How about the two of you go off together and make nicey-nice with each other so this thread can be respectful of America's war dead.

Thanks in advance. Fred
 
FrankDrebin,

Fred is right. Let's bury the hatchet and carry on. I know that you are more likely to remember your fallen brothers and sisters in the PD field as I remember my fallen brothers and sisters in the military field.

I guess, on average, we all sacrifice ourselves to one extent or the other. As I was willing to put my life on the line for all here and in the US, you do the same in the state that you work.

As the day comes, tomorrow, I will remember those in my field and also remember those civil servants who have made the same sacrifice. Our worlds aren't that different, you and I. I fought to keep terrorists from getting into this country, you fight to get those that get through.

Truce brother? You and I? The end game is the same, to protect those that don't wish to protect themselves and to help those that do.

Thanks to all servicemen who have served our country and all those who have done so with their lives. Our country that we would not have if it were not for their service and sacrifices.


There is a national day for rememberance of police officers who have died in duty. The national memorial to them in D.C. is a very somber, but well deserved, reminder of their sacrifices and service as well. I hope my sister or my brother-in-law never get their name on it.
 
A few words that speak volume this Memorial Day...

November 19, 1863 Gettysburg Address


That we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth....

Abraham Lincoln...
