Memorial day is not about sales at Megamart. It's not about the fact that you get an extra payed day off. It's not about BBQ's. Memorial day is about respecting and paying tribute to the men and women who are, and have been willing to serve and die for the very rights the rest of us take for granted.

Thank you all for your service.

I will add my thanks and thoughts to those that have made and will make, the ultimate sacrifice.

Veterans Day is for everyone that served. Memorial Day is for those that gave it all. Everyone should see Memorial Day in DC once in their life.

Veteran's day is for those who've served. Memorial Day is for those who are never to return home. It was remembrance day for all those young lives sacrificed during world war one. It was later adopted to be a reminder to the nation, of those who've made the ultimate sacrifice in all the wars. During this weekend, drive by a cemetery and notice all the flags on graves. Those flags are those who've served and died.

As far as I am concerned, there's no difference between the two. All who served deserve our appreciation.

Thanks Robert - the men and women who put their heart, body and spirit into the service of their country.

They deserve our appreciation and respect. Always.

There was no need to do that nature, there was nothing inappropriate about your post.

Josh and survival are 100% correct. I'll repost in November.

hey there say, ... a deep thank you for the memory of all that served, and me, well, i like to mention the vets, as well, due to the fact of this:

they lost many a friend, that never came back and i always feel that they have a sadness that they will not get over, due to that, :(


they live with that, all their days, even though they are deeply grateful that they did come home... it is a hurt to have left a comrade in arms, behind, :(


hugs and prayers to all the families that experienced any of this, and all of this, in any way... :(

you are all remembered, amen...

A big bump for those that selfishly serve and protect our country.
