Patriotism is easy to understand in America; it means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country.

On April 29, 2004, as a service and tribute to members of the World War II Generation, the National World War II Memorial opened for public viewing, exactly one month prior to the formal Dedication Ceremony taking place May 29, 2004. The World War II Memorial is the first national memorial dedicated to all who served during the Second World War. The memorial, established by the American Battle Monuments Commission, honors all military veterans of the war, the citizens on the home front, the nation at large, and the high moral purpose and idealism that motivated the nation's call to arms. The Second World War is the only 20th-century event commemorated on the Mall's central axis.

Don't forget that you can watch the dedication today!! God Bless all of our Veterans & Active Duty!!!

Memorial Day
The mystic chords of memory,
stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave
to every living heart . . . should swell into a mighty chorus
of remembrance, gratitude, and rededication on this solemn occasion.

Abraham Lincoln

When your cousin deploys, please make sure we have his/her address. We'd be honored to send a care package on behalf of the Canteen. It's the least we could do.

WoW! Will do and thanks! I'm sure my cousin Chris (male) would really appreciate that. I didn't even know there was such a program. That's my bad, but I'm going to correct it by hanging out here much more often. God Bless -
