If you want to truly honor us, then restore this nation to its Founding principles, put God back in His rightful place, as the center of it all, and make some effort to protect those precious freedoms, whether from foreign foes or domestic demagogues.

Thanks for the Ping to this great read.

My flag is hanging in their honor today.

I've had to take it in a few times due to rain.

I do not forget their sacrifice. They deserve honor and I do not forget their sacrifice. Today of all days is the day we need to remember their sacrifice for our freedoms.

Go bless all those who've sacrificed for me and all those who live under the freedom provided for by the United States of America.

Pyro...not sure if you are on the enviral ping so I'm hitting you again.....

All:

Thanks for your comments and bumps....but to do this justice make sumthin happen. Educate your fellow man, plant the seeds of Freedom in your children, educate yourselves!

We took a vote, and it's unanimous: None of us would have died for the nation you have created!

I'd still die for this nation but time is drawing close to the point at which I would decline the honor.....

This article says it better for me than all the rallys, gatherings, and prayers have this Memorial Day.
