Memorial Day

May 29th, 2006 · 4 Comments · Military

The Specials are taking a day off.

Memorial Day

 

Today when you see a US Flag stop and thank God for all those that have come before, are fighting now, and will come in the future to protect what you have. If you see a soldier, shake their hand and thank them for their service.  It is because of them you live in a free country.

How many of you cry at the National Anthem? I still do.

    “How many of you cry at the National Anthem? I still do.”

    I do. Several people I know think that’s ‘weird’ or feel sorry for me because I’m “an emotional woman.” Truth be told, I pity them.

    Memorial Day Commentary from an Army Wife

    “No one wants any soldier to die, but be proud. The United States is a liberator.”

    I got very teary eyed at one of the high school football games this year, when the band at my grandchildren’s school played this song while the flag was being raised. It just got to me how much we take for granted in our land of freedom!

    Tomb Of the Unknown Soldier (VIDEO)

    To all the men and women who have served this country, in whatever capacity, I salute you. We owe you an eternal debt of gratitude. Not even hurricane Isabel could stop these men from keeping the vigil.
