Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

Ronald Reagan

Let us never forget those who have given the ultimate sacrifice to preserve the liberties we hold so dear.

[...] SistaToldjahÂ has some fascinating history concerning the roots of Memorial Day. Seems Southern women, the finest on earth, began decorating the graves of Confedeate heroes, and by 1865 Mississippi, South Carolina, and Virginia had precedents for Memorial Days….. [...]

Great quote, Tango.

Here’s another:

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

George Orwell,

Everyone here knows my view of our men and women in uniform. They are our GREATEST heroes, and the reason we enjoy all of our freedoms.

Thank you all….you will not be forgotten.

I, for one, am thankful for all American troops, both past and present who have served this country. On March 31st, my father-in-law passed away. He was a Marine in the Pacific Theater during World War II and stationed in Guam. He didn’t like to talk about the experiences he had there. At his funeral a Marine honor guard presented my Mother-in-law with the flag that draped his coffin. It was an extremely moving ceremony. So this Memorial Day is a little more poignant for my wife and myself.

I hope you have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day. I invite you and your readers to my blog to see my Memorial Day tribute.

How lucky we are to live in a country secure in our feedoms due to American’s ultimate sacrifice on the battle field. Today I pause and give thanks to all that made this sacrifice and to all those who have served in our military. God Bless our troops in harms way……
