If you don't mind, I'd like to repost this, that I posted on the Tribute to Heroes thread:

Please take a couple of minutes from your busy weekend to remember the cost of YOUR FREEDOM. Your FREEDOM was paid for in the sweat, blood and LIVES of those we honor every Memorial Day. The men and women who fought and died in defiance of tyranny, and who paid the price willingly, so that their decendants would live FREE.

You and I are their decendants, and it is not just our priviledge to honor them on Memorial Day, it is our PROUD DUTY to keep their memory alive. Because as long as just ONE person remembers their name, and their sacrifice, then they are not truly dead.

So, sometime between the barbque and the beer, or between the picnics and the trips to the mall for "Memorial Day Sales" or outings at the beach or park, take just a minute to say "Thank You" to those who will never again be able to enjoy barbque or picnics or beer or outings at the beach or park, or trips to the mall. Their sacrifice must never be forgotten!
