MEMORIAL DAY

God bless all here who served and less we forget those who paid the ultimate price. I reflect on my father career in the Navy,35 years from 1942 to 1977. Europe, Pacific, Korea and 3x Vietnam. I miss him Thank's Dad I love you. 

Amen, Brother. 

Folks get lost in the long weekend and forget that it ain't all about BBQ's and sales.

Happy Memorial Day to everyone!  Especially those that are gone, but never forgotten.

eelkram, Thank God there is at least one other person that can see what this day is about. I for one am mortified that out of 99 views that only one MAN replied.

Hmmm, just because the 99 or so people that viewed this thread didn’t reply doesn’t mean they don’t know what Memorial Day is all about. There are other ways to commemorate our fallen brothers and sisters other than Responding to a thread, liking a Facebook post or other social media.

I always think of those that gave their lives for our country.  Do not feel mortified about those who choose not to respond.  It does not mean they do not care even if a few do not support our military.  It may be to emotional for some as many of us have lost friends and family.

Thanks to you Vic for yours! And my Father and Uncles who were all in WW II. And all the Men and Women on this site who also
contributed to the safety of this country.

There are those of us who have served (24yrs USCG)and lost friends while serving. They are not forgotten!!!

Grateful for all those who gave their lives serving in our armed forces this Memorial Day.

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter the words, but to live by them."

Paddling by The Hornet yesterday had special meaning.
