It's a day for more than a day off & picnics. Remember our Fallen Heroes.
T.C.

Thanks Dad!
Amen. I had the opportunity to visit the American Cemetery at Normandy a few years ago. I will never be the same.
God Bless the Fallen and their families.

For me, it was the Vietnam War Memorial Wall in Washington, DC. I had to put on sunglasses to try to hide the tears that were streaming down my face when I was there. We all give thanks.
we can do what we do, BECAUSE
they did what they did
(past & present)
god blesss and thank you
Amen to that TC. I visited the American Cemetery in Normandy about 12 years ago. I have been many places and have to say that was the most humbling and most BEAUTIFUL places I have ever been. They ARE resting in peace there. Thanks to all serving...current and past....
thanks grandpa, dad and bro......
and those are the ones i know personally. family fought in the revolutionary war and beyond......
What a great weekend for spending time with family and friends, and to honor those that have fought for our country. Happy Memorial Day.
God Bless the contributors to this thread. It is one of the few I've seen that recognizes the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans' Day.
And God Bless the families and friends that still mourn their loss.
My dad is buried in the National Cemetary in Indiana. When I visit, it is sad to see so many unknown soldier graves, and I try to remember the families that do not know where their loved ones were buried or what happened to them. It breaks my heart every time.
I urge every one of you to take the time to watch "Taking Chance", a 2009 film based on a true story, starring Kevin Bacon. It's in rotation on cable and satellite right now. It may make you uncomfortable, it may make you all teary eyed, but you need to see it.
