We Remember...

Well, thank you for posting Redrock’s reminder of what Memorial Day IS and ISN’T. It make me sad to think that so many people have no idea what this “holiday” is about.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Indeed...thanks, Yehuda.

Wonderful tribute to those who have given their all. Thanks, jellybean.

It is sad that so few really understand.

I read something recently (don't remember if it was on FR or elsewhere) that says it all, I'm afraid. It went something like this: "Our military is at war, America is at the mall".

:-(

"Our military is at war, America is at the mall". :-(

Whoever said it, had it right. I think we can lay much of the blame at the feet of the MSM.

I think we can lay much of the blame at the feet of the MSM.

I think you are right.

I am off to bed. Thank you for your dedication in supporting our military, past and present, and for everything you do here each day.

[Kathy in Alaska]

And to you too. Good night.

Maybe this has been discussed elsewhere but I wonder if others here are outraged as I was to see Rep. Murtha on the Memorial Day concert last night. He was sitting next to the wounded Iraq war vet and his wife. They had their heart wrenching story told by Bonnie Hunt and Gary Sinise. When they were honored and shown on camera I almost barfed to see Murtha sitting with them. He pretended to be supportive but in reality he and his party are doing everything to undercut our efforts.

Good job! As Aloha Ronnie says, “NEVER FORGET.”
