Conor, I truly enjoyed your writing today reminding some out
there what this Holiday is all about. There are some out
there who think “oh boy, another day off!” I believe most
on Amy’s Place and other Freepers know and respect what
Memorial Day means.

None of us can help but think of those who did give their
lives for all of us and for those who were willing to do so.
Let us never forget. I didn’t know you were exposed to
Agent orange and probably did cause your cancer and lots of
others, I suppose!

As they say “War is Hell” but some are willing to go through
it for America’s Freedom. Like you say, “many are fighting
today and dieing under the worst of circumstances and more
will be killed until we’re out of there. But they fight on
with all the bravery they have.

I’m always glad to hear the stories of friends who served
in Vietnam and how horrible that war was and then you and
they were shown no appreciation when they came home.....
how sad!

I can’t think of the Senator who got elected not long ago
who bragged about being in Vietnam over and over
before crowds of people and then later confessed when he was
caught and what really ticked me off is that the people
voted him in anyway. Its the lowest of the low of him
and the people who voted for him. I wished I could call
his name but at the moment I can’t remember, but I know
you and others know this story!!!!

May God bless all those who died in all wars for us and for those still dieing.

My son and I went for breakfast this morning and then to get
some dirt and flowers and the other son came and we all worked to get them planted. Thats why I’m so late getting
to Amy’s.
