Memorial Day

[Styxx]

In remembrance of all my brothers and sisters who put on a uniform to serve our country but did not make it home to live in peace.

We don’t know them all, but we owe them all.

In remembrance of all my brothers and sisters who put on a uniform to serve our country but did not make it home to live in peace.

Amen, Brother

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

Remember to thank ALL servicemen and Women for their service!
And add on all first responders as Police and Fire persons!
ALL those who put their lives on the line for you and me!

 

[Steve UConn72]

Unlike Independence Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and the like, Memorial Day is to be "observed," not "celebrated."

 

[Tonyc]

Sending prayers to all who paid the price for our freedom. God Bless and Thank you

 

[MSGRET]

Today is the day to HONOR those that did not come home. Who gave their lives to protect our way of life and our freedom.

Remembering Tommy, Calvin and Pete. All gone before their time, heartbreaking remember the day we watched them leave us. My friends, please never ever forget the steep price some paid.

 

[FormerCTrez]

Happy Memorial Day to all who served this country!! Your service is, and will always be remembered by us.

 

[Steelerone]

To all my Marine comrades, Semper Fi. To all those who served, you know how it was and what you did. Never forget those who are not here to share with us. Just a short prayer each night and ask God to take them into his arms and treat them like the special people they are.

"........the last full measure of devotion". We must never forget as a nation that we have freedom because of those who gave their lives for it.

 

[Cornell Lt]

A great big shout out to all that have served protecting this great nation. Also a huge shoutout to my beloved Cornell Lacrosse program for winning the national championship on this Memorial Day...48 years in the making

I’m adding all of my friends that came home and still passed away from Agent Orange related issues.

To any, and all of you, who went to Vietnam, and came home safely: I'm so sorry you were sent there, but so glad you survived. I lost classmates and students, and for what? Any time I visit the Vietnam Memorial I end up breaking down; it is so profoundly sad. Sorry if people may think this inappropriate here, but this is how Memorial Day hits me every year. I guess because it was my generation.

It is not inappropriate boontonbomber. I am a Vietnam vet and when I have visited the Vietnam Memorial and see the names of my infantry OCS classmates who didn't make it back the sadness is overwhelming. It is something that will always be with me especially on Memorial Day. Requiescat in pace my brothers.
