Giving Their ALL

Early this morning is when I am blogging this very special blog entry on this Memorial Day 2012.

On this Memorial Day 2012, had the opportunity to both watch and listen to country and western singer Billy Ray Cyrus‘s song about this day, “Some Gave All.”

This song sums up in full why the United States of America on this and each and every Memorial Day as one year passes to another it gives this holiday its full meaning. The man in the song, Sandy Kane, who became the teacher and teaches the lesson of not only being thankful for our liberties but also to say thanks not only to the living veterans but in remembering those who had given all in full.

“All gave some and some gave all And some stood through for the red, white and blue And some had to fall And if you ever think of me Think of all your liberties and recall Some gave all.”

In that one paragraph, is what not only gives the full meaning in reflection but a call to honor the heroic sacrifice of those armed forces men and women who died for this country by being an advocate for this nation, the United States of America not only during these very challenging times for this country but also doing all to make sure that the very self-giving sacrifices of this armed forces men and women do not go in vain.

THANK-YOU in SHOUTOUT to those WHO HAD GIVEN THEIR ALL.
