My brother sent me an email today mindful of the irony of Memorial day, with cartoons of BBQ's and a picture of the only person standing at a parade was an old man in a wheelchair. This Memorial Day our Military is still fighting 2 wars and also attempting to stop a huge oil catastrophe in the Gulf Of Mexico using our Coast Guard and National Guard.
Many lives are lost every day to give us the world we believe we want to live in.
Politics aside, this is a day to remember those fallen.
This Memorial day go out and find where people are gathering to remember. Maybe it's a local VFW remembrance, or a visit to a cemetery, especially with your children, they need to know.
Be a part of honoring our fallen men and women who have lost their lives for our Country.
MEMORIAL DAY not just a party...
