Take some time tommorrow...and visit the graves....and just say a simple couple of words.

Thank You.

...and,perhaps, take a little more time and visit the local V.A. Hospital...or even a local rest home. Take a little time and let those there know....that you appreciate what they did for you.

What's with your title, Redrock? What is it with the multiple posts and betrayal?

The title is brought about because of what I wrote.

Tommorrow...the promise of Remembering will be fullfilled...or not. In my book...if someone makes you a promise..and then doesn't come thru...it's a betrayal.

..as for the 'multiple posts'....I can only guess you are asking (maybe complaining) about all the threads I write for MEMORIAL DAY.

I've been doing it for around 5 years on FR....and I have a lot of people (including one very good phone-call from a V.A. Hospital this morning)...who have asked that I not quit doing it.

Hopefully you'll read a couple and meet some really nice Americans.

And you do so with the understanding of some very simple promises.

Bingo

Tomorrow is Memorial Day.

Perhaps the real measure of our success as a Nation (and how long we will last ) is how well we Honour those who have provided this Freedom.

Tomorrow is Memorial Day.

Or, perhaps, tomorrow is the day of Betrayal.

BUMP!

If you would pardon a paraphrase, consider, if you would seek their monuments, look around you.

Our honored ancestors have served, and worked, and bled, and died, so that Americans can have Memorial Day sales and picnics and Bar-B-Qs an such, if they want to.

What the he!! do you think they would be doing tomorrow?

They were US, WE are them.

Let us live well in honor of those who have paid for our liberties and security.

I agree....living well in Freedom is their best monument.

But....we can afford one day (24 hours at most) to just say "Thank You"...and do so verbally...to them.
