Memorial Day - May 25, 2009

This is a very special day in which we honor those who gave their lives for our freedoms, and to this day the struggle goes on as we add new names to the list of those who are fighting right now for each and every one of us . . . we, the people of the United States of America. There are differences in the causes of war, some political, which is unjust and unfair in my estimation, then there are times of attack (Pearl Harbor) and we are justified in fighting for our freedom. There have been wars and strife from the beginning of time and it continues, never ending, . . . and the list goes on and I wonder why. So today, if there is a parade to watch, stand proud with your hand over your heart when the flag goes by and say a prayer for those who made a choice to fight for each one of us. A thank you to those who volunteered to put the flags out on the cemetaries throughout our land, and to those who joined the different Service Posts, and for those who go out and take the time to make a personal journey to honor those who truly deserve our love and respect always.
