Memorial Day Musings
All - Today, each in his/her own way, please pause and REMEMBER the true meaning of Memorial Day. Freedom is NOT free, proven repeatedly by those who gave their all so that we could continue the lifestyle to which we have become accustomed. Indeed, those brave men and women (who are sons and daughters, moms and dads, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles) continue in harms way to this very day - in a totally volunteer status. REMEMBER!
Jesus said it and lived it, and proved it: Greater love hath no man than he lay down his life for another. May God continue to bless this great country.

Re: Memorial Day Musings
We all get it, but sadly most younger people don't have a clue today. History means nothing to them.
What's more important to many of them is how many 'friends' you have on FB and how many 'likes' you get. |

Re: Memorial Day Musings
Regarding the original Marcus post: AMEN!!! The subject got changed and today we need to focus on the ORIGINAL intent of this day. Save the "bitches" for another day!

to pass American History and Problems of Democracy in order to graduate from High School. Today what is taught? How can you respect those that don't respect America? I do not disrespect youth as a whole, only those that disrespect our Nation. Meaning no disrespect to you, but it seems most of your posts are negative, and you do have the right to state your opinion, Positive or Negative. So this is my opinion.

Here is a graphic photo to remind us what Memorial Day is all about (with a Model A theme):

Re: Memorial Day Musings
It’s an Honor to Remember
The breeze ripples the flags on the pole. The announcements have been made and a solitary figure steps forward and inverts his sword, respectfully. Clutching a scrolled up paper, the Colonel clears his throat and begins to call out the gilded names of each one listed. He then goes on to explain; Memories have names. These were our Friends, our Compatriots, our Brothers and Sisters in Arms. We have marched thru the Valley of the Shadow of Death together, sharing good times and bad. We have loved them and they loved us. They have been an important part of our life and now they are gone from our sight – yet they are with us still, waiting patiently in the dawn of each new day – waiting for us to join them. Today, it is an Honor to Remember…. “For none of us liveth to himself, and no one dieth to himself.” Romans 14:7 Be their Witness. Say their Names. It is your Duty to do so…It’s why you survived. |

"As for the youth of this country the problem is sick thinking has corrupted the education system and has changed the meaning of what an American is to them. If you do not think what I am saying is true talk to 12 year old. They know very little about American history and were instructed that we are a bad people for being exceptional. Home or private schooling is sadly the only option if we are to save the youth." |

God Bless all the Patriots who stood for God Country and Freedom. We owe them so much. Many in my family have served in WW2 and what that generation did was beyond remarkable. What all American Patriots did is remarkable. Every time I see a service person in uniform I thank them for their service and if possible pick up the bill for them in a restaurant. Its so little on my part but they appreciate it more than most would understand. God Bless them all. |

Re: Memorial Day Musings
" The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers".Socrates as told to Plato.
