Memorial weekend salute....

I know this may not be the appropriate thread for such a post, but I will anyways......A heartfelt thank you to all those Sailers, soldiers, airmen, and Marines who paid with their lives for our current freedoms.......Also a thank you to all active, veterans, and retired veterans. And to all our POW's and MIA's, which will NEVER be forgotten.

Just remember, for our freedoms, All gave some, some gave all.

Thank you gentlemen, and ladies, that have served to keep this country free for my children.

Anywhere on this board is an acceptable place for this post. Thank you to our Military, past and present.

Monday, 30 May 11 is Memorial Day, so I humbly and respectfully ask of you to please don't forget to honor the men and women in uniform who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country and who "gave up their tomorrows so we can have our todays".

May God Bless and Keep You and May You Rest In Peace.

Shout out to all those in the military living and dead, the ones who have sacrificed their lives and the ones who are risking theirs as we speak. All in the name of our well-being.

May they Rest In Peace.

We'll be cooking out tomorrow and hoisting one to those that have given all for me and mine.

For those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom, God bless you, may you rest in peace.

I to wish to give all the veterans a Heartfelt THANK YOU for your selfless service!!! May GOD Bless each and everyone of y'all and may he protect thsoe of you stepping into harms way!!!

Sadly, Memorial Day has been degraded into being about shopping & cooking out for a lot of people. Some citizens will reflect and be thankful, most will not. It is what it is. Most people are too self-absorbed to care.

OP, its appropriate anytime, any place
God Bless,

To all of the men and women of the military who have given their lives for the rest of us so we can live in freedom... I salute you.

They have given their lives so we may live free from tyranny and oppression. And for everyone who is active, you continue putting yourself in harms way for your country, to keep us safe from the terrors of the world.
I thank you all.

The Heroes from my war.

God bless all of our fighting men and women. Past, present, and future.

I think this says it all, I think it's very powerful.

My eyes are 'misty' and so true that we have so much to be thankful for...to those who "gave up their tomorrows, so we can have our todays".

It is my most solemn and constant prayer that the "reason" so many of my Brothers and Sisters in arms are separated (temporarily or permanently) from their loved ones would end forever.

Peace without oppression would be their greatest tribute.

My wife and I visited a memorial for Oregon war dead, read some of the names, and read the personal tribute someone had left for a gentleman SSGT Harold "Irish" Brogan, a paratrooper who died during the Normandy invasions. We saw no one else at that memorial, but it was a beautiful day for a visit.
