Amen to all!!
Yes sir. Thank you for this thread.
A huge THANK YOU to those who have sacrificed their lives so the rest of us can enjoy the freedoms in life that other places do not have.
Freedom is truly freedom and it is that freedom for which we should be totally thankful and which we should unequivocally appreciate . . . remember to never take your freedoms lightly . . .
Thank you.Quote:

Use this day to educate. When someone wishes you “Happy Memorial Day”, take a few minutes and tactfully explain the meaning of today to the forgetful and/or uneducated. It’s the least we can do for those who gave.
It’s not about the “Memorial Day Mattress Sale”.

Ever since the movie came out, we watch Lone Survivor on Memorial Day. I cannot imagine what those guys went through on the mountain. For us, its a reminder of what many of our service men and women went through so we can be free.
Im always amazed thinking of ww2, especially d-day. For iraq and afghanistan many deployed for anywhere from six to 15 month orders but usually had a known return date or at least a ballpark figure. But in the lead up to d-day they had no idea how long their deployment would be. And many had already been in the fight in other parts of europe and africa way before that, and dont forget the Pacific
From at least December 8, 1941, until VJ Day, all draftees and volunteers in the U.S. Military were obligated "for the duration". All deployments to foreign waters or soil were also for the duration, though not all actually lasted that long before redeployment to other destinations.Quote:
