lindajoy Loc: right here with you....
 
No greater sacrifice than those of our Armed Forces who lost their lives defending this great nation...Their never ending protection to keep us safe should not ever be forgotten...

While our country ones and look at all those things we, as individuals believe, but remember we have these rights because of those who gave their life.

I cannot say happy memorial day because in actuality there’s nothing to really be happy about and the loss of life, serving, to defend this great nation. What I can say is you are all most respected and honored and saying thank you simply does not seem enough. But I thank you one and all anyway... May you have found peace in your passing and may your families be forever grateful.

Well, nice to see that a portion of your brain thawed.
But, be happy on Memorial Day, I know it's not a lefty holiday like April 15th or Juneteenth, but you can BBQ some soy and be happy nonetheless.

It is the day to thank all those who gave their lives so that we could be free and safe because they gave their all for God and country. It is also the day to hang our heads in shame for not remembering their sacrifices year round and give of ourselves to make America more like the country they fought for. May we become worthy of their sacrifice and fight for the country they wanted America to remain.

NPP and SWMBO

Gee, Mikey, nice you are having a good weekend.. we are as well, the temp may reach 60 degrees today and 90s by next weekend.. we had 3 nights in the 30s, just missed a frost.. LOL..

Juneteenth??? April 15th, now that is just impossible.. we all resent those taxes.. if only they would only spend on what I like. That I could handle but darn.. tax relief to those who pay no taxes and spending for protection to oil wells, robots to fight our wars for us.. If we gotta die, do it for honor and country.. and especially family..

Hope you have a good BBQ.. never a bad day when we can do that.. My grandson even does it in the snow.. and he is a sprout only in his 20s..

Happy days are just ahead and the recovery will be better then some worry about.. look for the good and you shall find it... someone said.. it is true..

No, this is not quite in line with the day.. but is topical..
No, this is not quite in line with the day.. but i...

Very thoughtful post Lindajoy, My dad's brother my uncle died in WW2, his son died in Vietnam the last of my Uncle's family his grand son died in Afghanistan. Memorial day has always been a solum day at our house, the BBQs and fun never came to us. Memorial day for my family was spent in the grave yard placing f**gs on grave stones so I agree, happy is not the sentiment I'd use either. A thank you for your service really isn't enough but the best I can muster for today. For the service members and I'd include police and C*****l P****e, Thank you for your service.
