Memorial Day
Today is Memorial Day so before we all head out to grill some ribs or whatever and drink maybe one too many beers pause for a second and give thanks for all who gave their lives and limbs so we could enjoy the freedoms we enjoy and sadly take for granted.
The time is always right to do what is right

Re: Memorial Day
Well put Heather 
This may be political but I am going to say it anyway. I was 16 when a dear friend's sister's fiancee came home in a box from Vietnam it brought it home all too clearly to me and changed me forever. Thank your for your service and sacrifice Billy. I will never forget you!

It's not the least bit political! It was a fact that many of us became far too familiar with back then.Diana Michelle wrote: This may be political but I am going to say it anyway

Re: Memorial Day
It was like 1995 or 96 I was in Washington DC for a convention. Took a day to sightsee and one of the things I went to was the Vietnam Memorial. I got to maybe 50 feet from it and couldn't take another step. Flashing through my mind was thought of walking up and putting my hand on a name I knew. I never made that last 50 feet but I did say a prayer for all those souls.
