Happy Memorial Day Weekend Brothers and Sisters. Thank you all who have served, continue to serve, will serve and have died. We owe you all a great deal more than what we provide. I hope you everyone takes the time to remember and be grateful.

Special day....Special lives.....Special country. I know Memorial Day is meant for the fallen that sacrificed the ultimate. For me it is not only an honor but an obligation to remember those and to say a special thanks for their service but also let their families know their sacrifice is and will never be forgotten. God Bless all of you and have a special weekend.......

I did a 6 year commitment to the Army. My step son is an E8 and has done 5 combat tours in different places and will retire in 2 years. His ex wife was in Iraq at the same time he was and we had their 2 small children for 18 months even though they arent supposed to send both parents at the same time. Have another son who did 4 years and got out. Then another one who did 3 years and has just recently gotten out. My son in law did 2 years as well. We are familiar with the service over here but always have a strong reverence for all who served and paid the ultimate price. For them I am forever grateful. If there is anything the government should invest in, its our troops. All of the wounded and disabled and sick. God bless all of our service men and women, you are Americas finest.

My wife and I are planning to walk through Arlington today after church. I'll post up a couple of pictures. Arlington is my favorite place to take a walk in DC.

Thanks for the thread. I love hearing from other patriots.

Colleville-sur-Mer, Normandy, France. Almost 10,000 US servicemen and women who died at the invasion of Normandy

Watched "Unbroken" last night. Louis Zamperini lived through it, but what a great reminder of the difficulties endured by our fellow patriots. I have no idea if I could sustain that level of resilience. Truly remarkable!

Special thoughts and prayers to those of you who are missing battle buddies or shipmates today.

A new meaning of the word hell that's for sure....Makes you wonder if death wouldn't have been a better option. Still the symbol of strength through defiance is a lesson not to give in to the evils of this world be it a foreign enemy in war or cowardly terrorist using our own system against us...Stand tall.

I wish they had asked who they voted for.

And they say history books aren't being rewritten....There is almost no way young people can be this stupid....Is there? Their parents should be ashamed too.
