Memorial Day
Memorial Day. I've posted this before and am doing so again. This small cartoon picture tells an awfully big story. Many gave their lives. Much blood was spilled for our freedom. Many are still out there putting their lives on the line. And far, far too many take our freedoms for granted.

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."

Thank you stephanie. Your intent is appreciated but...MEMORIAL DAY is dedicated to all Americans in Uniform who GAVE THEIR ALL, and THEIR LIFE.
Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Veterans Day is an official United States holiday which honors people who have served in armed service also known as veterans. It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11.
I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
So, this is for them.
GOD BLESS AMERICA - IN GOD WE TRUST !

Yes I know that. But I like to honor them by honoring our living military men and women. As they carry on their legacy.

I don't know why but I feel compelled to post a few words regarding those men I remember on Memorial day.
Friends that I served with that didn't make it through some of the stuff we went through, I remember you!
Dad, and my uncles that made it through WWII and the Korean war and have since passed, I remember you!
Men that I served with and have since passed through causes other than combat, I remember you!
Soldiers, sailors, Marines that I heard about but didn't know personally, I remember you!
I am old now and sometimes have trouble remembering names but I remember your faces. I remember your smiles, your tears and your personalities.
I remember your loyalty, honor and integrity; your selfless service in battle and even after when home with family .... yes I remember you!
Sorry, just had to get that out there.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

I'll tell you right now I'd rather be me than my wife. The families never get enough credit. Other side of the coin: don't whine at me when I'm deployed. You can hop in your car and go to Jack in the Crack and anywhere else you want.. I can go to the ship's store.This is our day to say: Thank you to the men and women in our Military and also their families.

The sacrifice is a two-sided deal.

Those are very kind words indeed.
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?
