...." 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???? "
Very moving rr. He is perfectly correct that most people don't care about the meaning of Memorial Day, but many of us do. I will be visiting cemeteries this weekend and remembering all the loved ones that have passed on, paying particular respect for the many who gave so much in the cause of freedom.
It is also a perfect opportunity to teach a certain 10 year old of mine the real meaning of this holiday.
...and hoping that the one-legged man is there.
