Do you get Monday off?

In Memory of our Honored Dead

America Supports You: Our Military Men and Women!

That's what Memorial Day is to a lot of people. Men and Women who are too young or too old to have lost a family member during wartime, those of us who simply don't care and of course those who choose to dishonor our brave military in various ways. Bottom line is this blog will be remembering our fighting men and women today and through the weekend. Memorial Day is more than just an extra day off work or a day to BBQ with friends and family. It is those things also, but it gives me pride that I cannot even express in this great nation to remember that I have the freedom to watch my daughter play, to see my son succeed in sports, to watch....Ted Kennedy giving away the citizenship that these brave people fought and died for like it was a campaign button for the democratic party? (Sound of record needle scratching). Yes even that folks, I even celebrate the rights of windbags like that to say their piece and the right of other more... well, politically challenged Americans to agree with windbags like Mr. Kennedy.

This Freedom we have is so precious, so God given and precious that thousands of your countrymen were willing to die for it, to die so that others could know it, to give there lives for the small chance that it might spread and allow a people who have known nothing but an Iron Hand for as long as they can remember to experience liberty. So this weekend no matter what your opinion is of our president or the conflict we find ourselves in, take a moment and pause to watch your son hit that baseball, to see your daughter take her first steps and remember those who died so that you/they might live.

God Bless our fallen Heros!!
