Memorial Day 2015

Today is the day our nation has set aside to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We honor the men and women who died to keep this nation safe and free.

As you go about your day remember what it is really all about and say a prayer for the families of those who left us way too soon so that we might be free to enjoy not just this day but every day.

Our Flag does not move in the breeze. It moves with the last breath of every man and woman who died defending it. Keep that in mind as you see morons walking on and burning our Flag. They disrespect themselves, their country and the men and women who died to keep them safe and free.

Remember

Keep those who still serve in your prayers until they are all safely home. Pray we do not have to honor them on a future Memorial Day.

Thanks to Mr. Heller who gave me permission to use his cartoon back in 2009.

Keep in mind the Flag will be at Half Staff until noon and then raised to the top. If your Flag can be displayed at half staff you should follow this protocol.

Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Today We Honor Our Fallen

While I hear many people thanking veterans today the day to honor them is 11 November. Today is the day we honor those who have died in the service of our country.

Please enjoy this touching video about the Angel Flight, the designation of those flights that carry our military dead.

This link is for the full screen version.

General Patton once said; “It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.”

While I never think mourning the loss of a loved one is foolish or wrong, I do think today should be a day for thanking God that the men and women who died for this country existed. Without them we would not be a free nation.

God knows, they could have grown up and been like the selfish occupy morons (whose right to protest was secured by our honored dead).

Today as we gather with family and friends and enjoy cookouts and backyard games let us take a few moments to say a prayer for those who went before us, for whom today is set aside.

Big Dog salute to my Aunt Barb for sending this link.

Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

A Day To Remember

Today is a day set aside to give honor to those military members who have died in the service of this country. As we set off on trips to cook-outs, shopping excursions to the malls and to the pools that will open on this “unofficial start of Summer”, let us take a moment to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for this nation.

Have a safe and happy holiday.

And please, don’t drink and drive, get plenty of sleep, wear sunscreen and commit a random act of kindness…

This cartoon from a post two years ago was spot on…

Remember The Fallen

Today is the day we honor those members of the military who gave their lives for this country. Let us be happy that such people existed.
