Tomorrow...

[Darkwind]

In case you thought it was National Barbeque Day..., it's not.

It's a day to remember this country's fallen, that gave all to preserve this great country and it's freedoms.

Both my grandfathers, 3 uncles, my father and brother all served in foreign wars.
I lost two first cousins in the line of duty.

I will be down at the Federal Military Cemetery in Fayetteville, Arkansass, saying hi to all the dead people...

 

[Darkwind]

Nowhere is the dedication and vigilance of our fallen more sacred than at the tomb of the Unknowns.

It's not national BBQ day. It's a national day of rememberance of those fallen so we can HAVE family BBQ's and such. They interviewed a 20 year veteran today on Fox. He said "Absolutely celebrating memorial day with a BBQ is just fine. We fight and die so you can do that. We only ask that you remember who died to give you the freedom to enjoy that BBQ. Eat up!"

Just like today we celebrated Memorial Day with a great American race. Car racing is in our blood. Many fought and died so we could watch cars go around in a circle at 230mph. Hoorah!

The problem is, you'll hear replies.

According to the religious, they are all alive and well with Jesus in Heaven, living the life of the living dead.

I took some flowers to place on my husband's grave today, in the VA Cemetery. A small group of people was scrubbing headstones. It was a mother and her three children. I spoke with her for a moment and she explained that she wanted her children to know how special a day this is, instead of just being another day off for no particular reason.

This is America.

Happy Memorial Day.

It isn't about the BBQ or even the celebration. It's about honoring those who did not make it back.

I, too, am a Veteran. The only ask is that while you celebrate, give a thought to those who made your celebration possible.

It really isn't that big an ask.

Our church isn't open, but I did lose a brother during a war. Why I will never know.
