A DAY FOR REMEMBERANCE AND RESPECT...MEMORIAL DAY

Voodoo Funk

Though a day early, and though we take this day as the first day the beach opens on the EAST COAST and all around the Country there will be picnics and parties for graduation....this is actually a VERY SAD and SOLEMN DAY for many families all over the country.

This is an especially hard day for those who fought arm and arm with there best friends.
Most were barely old enough to drink, only to watch in HORROR when there friends made the ultimtae sacrafice for the USA and there commrades..paying with there lives.....forever scarring there friends who watched as they drifted away in front of them and there families as they watched from the window as two MILITARY men is dress blues would come to the house with a flag and a letter from the President.

So PLEASE on this day when most of us are partying PLEASE PLEASE take one second to say a prayer for all those who have passed and especially for all those who have come back mutilated and are not receiving the care they so rightfully deserve....but say a prayer for those who gave THE ULTIMATE....THERE LIFE......
They questioned nothing they are told to do, they never once question whether the job they were doing was JUST they just DO what they are told so we can live in FREEDOM and not have to worry that one day our USA will be over run like some countries we see on TV and we have to live with such turbulance as SUICIDE BOMBERS...they do it for ME so I can live in peace while disabled, they do it for your children, your grandchildren and for there own children even though SOME WILL NEVER SEE THERE OWN CHILDREN AGAIN !!!!!! Crying or Very sad

If you see a VET or a man/woman in uniform today or anyday THANK THEM you would be surprised the smile and appreciation they feel just hearing that..is that to much for us to do for them after all they do for us?

I think NOT..........

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE AND FOR ALLOWING US TO LIVE IN THE ONLY 100% FREE AND DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY IN THE WORLD !!!!

Agreed! Thank any soldier you see, and honor those that have given their lives and passed on. Without them, your life would be very different and much less content. #Usa

Many thanks to all veterans out there who have put their lives on the line for a higher cause.
