Have a grateful holiday!
I know that we are all bombarded during this holiday with sales, cook outs, visits with friends and family and a nice day off from work. Please while you are enjoying yourself, and enjoying your family, take a moment to remember our fellow citizens who have died in wars, past and present. We would not be able to enjoy these daily indulgences, and our freedom if it were not for their selfless sacrifice. Freedom is a costly commodity these days, and we have many enemies that hate our freedom and who hate us for it.
Where would we be today if our soldiers would not fight and defend us, or freedom? The thought makes me shudder.
Remember also, all of our soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan or other deployment destinations, who are not with their families this weekend. Remember those who are deployed and maybe eating an MRE or nothing at all for their Memorial Day supper. Say a prayer for them and their safety. As a mother of a deployed soldier, I appreciate all the prayer that are uttered.
This weekend and tomorrow I implore you to have not just a happy Memorial Day, but have a thoughtful, reflective, and grateful one too!
I love you sweety and sitting here in tears over this entry and the sacrifice that you and yours and all our troops and their families are making for us and our country. XOXO
To all the Hooah!’s,
Hugs and prayers for all, here at home, and abroad. Have a wonderful Memorial Day.
Knee Deep,have a wonderful day and thank you for your service to this great country!!! My son is sitting on the tailgate of my truck talking with his Buds, just three weeks ago he was running missions in Baghdad. Again thanks !!!!
Well said, and Well Done, Soldier Mom.

Some interesting veteran’s stones near our plot –from PFC’s in George Washington’s army, to Brig Gen’s in Pershing’s.
Wishing you and yours all the best on this solemn holiday,

Echoing Al here…Well said!
I stand with all of you in honouring all those gone before, and those currently serving…and you KNOW I include the families who also serve…
Thank you….
KY Woman, to you and yours too — even though we are technically yours and ours! ;)
Bull Dog — Your response put a huge smile on my face! I am so grateful that your Veteran Hero is home and with his friends and family today! God bless you both for your service to our Country! Thank you, 1000 times over!
Al, I hope and pray that you have had a peaceful Memorial. As you know and live it, every day is Memorial Day for Veterans and for those who love them! Thank you and yours for the years of faithful service. I am grateful!
Piper and Brat, thank you both very much for all of the love and support over the past year. I am so grateful to have you as my friends!
