I started to say nice post until I read that exchange. But heck, it's the internet and we all screw it up sometimes.
With the apology, allow me to say...

Nice post, and a good reminder.


To often, people see it as just a long weekend.

We are beginning a holiday weekend. For far to many, they believe it is about picture 1.

They all to frequently forget it is, in fact, about picture 2.

Please follow the directive in picture 3!


Amen πŸ™

A salute to my fallen brothers: For every time you were cold and hungry,For every time you were alone or afraid,For every time they sent you to a God forsaken place that most people couldn't find on a map.For the sacrifices you made time after time,because of that mom that never got to see her son again, that wife that never got her husband back and for the children that grew up without their father. ...and even when you slipped from this Earth to be in the arms of our Lord......I swear I will never forget you or what you have done. Your memory will never die and we will remember you always. Not just on a 'memorial day' but every day......for all gave some, but you gave ALL!

When talking about what Memorial Day means, politics shouldn't be anywhere in the conversation. The people we remember weren't thinking about the beliefs of those they gave their lives for. They obeyed their oath to serve and protect and did so with honor. If we can't get over petty differences at this time of the year to memorialize that sacrifice, shame on us.

I find it beyond reprehensible that so many of you would choose this thread to play politics.

I would appreciate it if you would remove your reprehensible selves to somewhere else.


I fervently disagree, we sent over 50,000 Americans to their deaths needlessly in Vietnam. Thousands died and many thousands more were maimed in Iraq, again needlessly. This happened because of enormous policy mistakes and out and out lies. Presently we have a couple of draft dodging cowards in the White House who are looking to start another un winnable war in Iran. We owe it to the memories of those who pledged to give their lives to protect our nation and were used as cannon fodder in lost causes to make sure it doesn't happen again. It is commendable to honor those who gave everything with our actions to see that it was not in vain, and to be sure to stop future foolishness and political expediency to put their brothers and sisters in peril down the road.

There are 365 days in a year, Kevyn (with a Y). Most of us set aside the entire weekend to honor the fallen. That means you still have over 360 days to be your annoying, anti-American self. And you get to be that annoying, anti-American douche because of those we remember this weekend...you're welcome!
