| My 83 y old daddy is a wounded and decorated WWII vet. TG he is still with us and doing well. I also have a nephew in Iraq...we worry and pray for him and his family everyday....as well as all the others that are there, for us. I am one of those who still puts my hand over my heart when the flag passes and when the pledge is recited. I do it for all of the men and women who gave their lives for all of us who live in the land of the free, and the home of the brave. I salute you all....and thank you deeply.

| Thanks Jenn - I really thought there would be a better response to this and was looking forward to seeing everyone else say a few words. I was hoping that people would really remember why and what we're honoring this weekend - not that it's just a holiday.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I not only want to thank all the serviceman who have given their lives for our country, but the serviceman now defending our country. A special thanks to the wives of our military men who are sometimes overlooked in what they contribute.

| Very Well Said!! I truly salute ALL the men & women in our military, past & present who HAVE let us live in Freedom here in the USA because of their service to our country. They & their families have sacrificed a lot for our Freedom. God Rest the Souls of ALL the men and women who have died so that we can live Free!

| This morning I watched a Memorial Day Tribute to all our military that I had recorded last night. It was very moving. My biological father served in WWII and he landed on the beach at Normandy. I found out when I was 18 that he later had committed suicide after getting out of the military. My father that adopted me at age 5 was in the Navy for 22 years, he died at age 57 from cancer. I want to give thanks to all those who served and gave their lives so we can have the freedoms we enjoy today. I want to thank all of those soldiers that serve today during this time of a different type of war. I also want to thank the wives of those solders also because I know how hard it is on them. My prayers go out to all on this Memorial Day. My God bless and protect all of you. |
