Carlo, you're my favorite FReeper except when Normsrevenge post the weekly Nascar thread. Here is one reason my flag is flying at half staff here in Eureka Ca. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/915735/posts

"Eulogy for a Veteran"

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the Gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

Thanks, the honor is to serve a great nation.

My father served, my brothers served.

I have that honor. I have served the greatest nation on earth, the USA. And, I was in the USMC. Not bad at all. :)

Ultimate sacrifice bump!

"The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country and during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit."

I will celebrate on the 30th as always.

Who dreamed up this 26th of May stuff?

In Flanders Field

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you from failing hands, we throw
The torch-Be yours to hold it high!
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

-Captain John D. McCrae

Thank You for the ping Carlo, God Bless All.

God Bless all our veterans, past, present, and future.

Remember that Memorial Day was created by Union Army General John Logan, Commander of the Grand Army of the Republican (the Union veterans group) and the 1884 Republican vice presidential candidate. In 1884, the GOP still remembered that Republicans fought for the U. S. Governemnt while most Democrats fought for the Confederacy.
