Happy Memorial Day Weekend

I want to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day weekend. Hope you and your family have a great time. Also I wish all who have served our country the best and honor all those who have died protecting our country. God bless all our veterans.

God and the soldier
All men adore
In time of trouble,
And no more;
For when war is over
And all things righted,
God is neglected -
The old soldier slighted.

I hope we as a nation will always remember, always.

Happy and safe Memorial weekend, everyone.

When do we honor those veterans who did not die in war but are no longer alive?

Veteran's Day, ma'am......

The graphics was designed to distinguish between the two special days.

I wish the graphic read, "Alive and Deceased."

...and when I see a veteran in a hat that displays their ship, regiment, unit of service - I ask if they were a member of that group. When they say yes, I am sure to thank them for their service!!!

Thank you! So technically Memorial Day is reserved for those who gave the "last full measure."

I like this photo a lot because it reminds me of one we took in Normandy where a WWII paratrooper found the grave of a friend who died on D Day+5. He'd last seen the soldier in England and had never visited his grave and it was now D Day+61 years.
