here are my wishes for a beautiful, happy, and safe MEMORIAL DAY weekend for all of you….i hope that you are spending quality time with the family, having outdoor picnics, grilling out, spending time at the lake or whatever else you plan on doing…
HOWEVER….
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not forget why we have MEMORIAL DAY in the first place….it’s not just a three day weekend from work, it’s a time that we honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country…..
so, while you are having fun this weekend, also pause and pay your respects to those who left thier families, jobs, and futures behind so that we can be free…….
MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF THOSE WHO GAVE OF THEIR OWN LIVES FOR OUR COUNTRY…….
there are many people who will NEVER forget MEMORIAL DAY…we shouldn’t forget either!!!
MAY GOD BLESS THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR US, AND MAY GOD BLESS THIS WONDERFUL COUNTRY!!!
Thanks Jay
It’s so easy to forget that the freedoms we have did’nt come free. With all the problems we have in this great country, remember that people are risking their lives to get here but no one is risking anything to get out.
God Bless America, and God Bless you Jay.
Great post Jay,
All great pictures but the one that struck me was the young woman and I will assume her husbands grave. The pain is almost impossible to comprehend, I found the picture hard to look at but even harder to look away from! I think we should all say a prayer for James Regan’s widow, I know I will.
Have a safe weekend and as you and Dick said, remember why we celebrate this day.
