Great Piece.
There is a quote off a Memorial that I love. I think it is appropriate for this thread.
"For those who fought for It, freedom has a taste the protected will never know."

"I KNOW where I will be on Memorial Day. I will be with my children placing flags...and introducing my children to new friends."
Thanks for a great post, redrock. You've inspired me--next Monday is a regular day here, but I think I'll take my son out at lunchtime and talk to him about the meaning of the day.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.-" Ronald Reagan 1961
Thanks. (Lump in throat)

Darn fine essay, red. And thank you for serving.
He told of how he served in Italy, fighting inch by inch up the country. How he lost his best friend at Anzio...of how he lost his leg at a place called Monte Cassino.(he said that he missed his friend much more than his leg)
My grandad was at Anzio. He never talked about it. Bloody horrible.
In a slow (sad voice) he asked...." I wonder if any of them know?? I wonder if any of them know the price that their Freedom cost??? I wonder if any of them know that their Freedom was paid for in blood...and lives?? I wonder if any of them know that every square inch of this Nation has been paid for with the blood of their fathers...sons..and brothers???? "
I know. My friends and family know, and if they forget, I remind them. If you see him again you tell him we're remembering, for real.
