MEMORIAL DAY

Memorial Day and Veterans Day are the 2 holidays that really get to me--partly because I spend most of the day thinking about all my good friends that cannot be here with me to enjoy it. As a Vet, as I am sure I am not alone in this forum, I am filled with both intense sadness and intense pride. The memories and wounds are still fresh for me, but my father, who commanded a rifle company in Vietnam for 2 tours, says the same thing 40 years later--so I am sure it will be the same with me. I remember War every day, I take it around with me and go to bed with it--it is the price of freedom; But on this special day--I remember my brothers who fought along side of me in that War and I keep their memory alive by telling their stories and always remaining a Patriot.

So on this day--Thank A Vet and go out and Enjoy & Protect the Freedoms they died to preserve--God know there are those, both foreign and domestic, who at this very moment seek to destroy it.

Semper Fi. :patriot:
