Memorial Day-Thank you, and welcome home
Tomorrow is Memorial Day. At 3 pm, the nation will take one minute out of the year for a moment of silence to reflect on all the sacrifices made to preserve our freedoms. I think we should do this more often, but I hope you join me tomorrow at 3 pm, wherever you are.
Blackfive has a very moving and somber article about tomorrow. Please take the time to read it. They took the time for us.
To all the Viet Nam Vets: Welcome home.
La di da La di da La di da. La di da Da di da Da di da da. Da da di Da da di da. Da di di Da di da da di da da. Didada dadidada.
Well, you get the idea. That is my parade for you. I know it is simple and probably off tune, but I wanted to at least do something.
Thank you to all of you who have risked it all to keep us free. I appreciate all your sacrifices. That includes you, too, family members and other loved ones. Thank you so very much.
Update:Greyhawk has a moving post today. You will surely be blessed by reading it. You may even find peace. After all, isn't that what we all want?
Update: Smash has a wonderful coverage of some heroes you would be proud to have met. If you want to know what is going on in the hearts of our vets this day, read this article. You will understand why they love each other so much.
Yes, they are proud to serve the greatest country in the world. Yes, they miss their families. Yes, they have their own points of view. Yet, they all come together when the time is necessary to protect you and me. These are remarkable men and women.
Be proud that they live amongst us, and be honored they chose to protect us. Be grateful they sacrificed for us, and do not forget their loved ones they have left behind.
This is a day of mixed emotions for them. They are grateful their loved one(s) is being remembered, while at the same time would much rather have them here to celebrate this day. This may be healing or too painful. Only God knows, and only time can help, if at all. Pay your respects. Please.

Update: As I was feeling a little blue on this day of remembrance of all those who have gone before us, I stopped over at one of my favorite sites. He has written a fine dedication and devotional that we can all embrace. Please check out DOUBLE TOOTHPICKS to be lifted up. Today is also his one year blogiversary! Stop by and encourage him. Happy Blogiversity, Steve. Thank you.
Update: You should see the pictures over at Willisms. He also has some precious words for this remarkable day. Sometimes the shorter the words, the more they say. Go over and check it out.
