Remembering on Memorial Day

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Thanks vets, and a very special thanks to those that are not here with us today.
I am one lucky bastard, as I have several generations of relatives that have served and they all came out in one piece alive.

Your post would be appropriate on Veteran's Day.

I'll post it then also. As I take no special day to remember the lost comrades and those still living..I do it practically every day.

Far too many people confuse the purposes of Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, and Veteran's Day.

We see some examples in this thread!

At least it is a positive act.

Today, we remember the fallen, who, as Pres Reagan noted, were all different "but they shared this in common: They loved America very much."

On Remembrance Day in Israel every siren goes off at noon and the entire nation comes to a standstill for one minute. To see it is inspiring. Unfortunately here in America there is too much ignorance and apathy for something like this here. Sad really.



An unknown Marine, after the battle of Iwo Jima, carved this on a rock that stands outside of the temporary cemetery there, where thousands of men were initially buried:

When you go home
Tell them for us and say
For your tomorrow
We gave our today

Already attended the American Legion post memorial today and heard the names of two close friends read. Had a great lunch at the Legion Hall and rejoined the Post for the first time in about 10 years. It is a good day to remember the fallen, but I will not be "happy" because I miss my friends.
