Remember to Salute

A thousand flags are held by men,
A thousand stories of back when,
The warriors clashed ‘neath battered rag.
On closer view, it was their flag.

The flag stood always at the front,
When battle came, it took the brunt,
And though the bullets rent and tore,
The flag would never shirk from war.

Every flag, and every color,
Holds a meaning, all of valor.
Men who stand in salutation,
Are the fabric of our nation.

And the flag that fills their eyes,
Along with tears that might arise,
Show the heart that forges on,
‘Til the victory has been won.

Stand and honor passing glory,
Remember well the honored story.
The flag deserves salute and then,
Remember to salute the men.

Thank you for the Graphics and Poems used in today's Memorial Day Thread.

They have all been used before but they are still wonderful.

Thank you again.

[JustAmy]

Due to internet problems (AGAIN,) I did not have access last night or this morning.

Mayor ..... Thank you for posting Our Daily Bread. I appreciate you.

Dolly, Tulip and Snugs ........ Thank you for bringing Memorial Day graphics and greetings to open Amy's Place.

Now I should ask the mods to include today in the heading. I had planned to start a new thread but changed my mind when I discovered I could not do anything last night.

Thank you again!!!!

Mornin' Amy.

Just got back from a ceremony held on the 7th Street Bridge. The local VFW and American Legion chapters present colors, 21 gun salute, and while a single bugler plays "Taps", a floral wreath and flower petals are cast into the flowing waters of the Tuolumne (Too-all-a-me) River in honor of those who lost their lives at sea.

One more ceremony to attend at 1 pm. So many Memorial Day events to chose from around here, but I narrowed my list down to three.

Honoring those who gave all.

I'm getting a very late start but we hope to get by Fresno Memorial Gardens this morning. I don't think we will make it to the ceremony but seeing the Avenue of Flags is worth the short drive. I hope we get close enough to see the fly over.

We won't be able to get in because it will be at least a mile walk from where we will find parking. That is too far for me and Marissa.

Enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day.

You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.

Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
The Grand Old Flag of the United States of America

Absolutely beautiful graphic, MamaBear!

Thank you. I like doing the montages. That's a re-run from last year. I didn't get any new ones made for Amy this year.

Hope you are having a nice weekend.

[Mama_Bear]

Wow! Billie, those are some nice Memorial Day graphics. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Hi Amy. Sorry I didn't get any new Memorial Day graphics made for this year. Time just got away from me.

[JustAmy]

Boy ... do I know what you mean. I could not access my music site for linking and didn't have time to research it. The music would play but links would not work.

None of the graphics or poems are new. They are just as great as they were the first/second time.

I have more wonderful poems and graphics but I think they are for Veteran's Day.

"The things that the flag stands for were
created by the experiences of a great people.
Everything that it stands for was written by
their lives. The flag is the embodiment,
not of sentiment, but of history."
