Today is the day to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. God bless them and God bless the USA.
By all means, have a happy Memorial Day. Enjoy your BBQ. Remember the time you lent me your car and I dented it? I thought you'd kill me... But you didn't. Remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was formal, and you came in jeans? I thought you'd hate me... But you didn't. Remember the times I'd flirt with other boys just to make you jealous, and you were? I thought you'd drop me... But you didn't. There were plenty of things you did to put up with me, to keep me happy, to love me, and there are so many things I wanted to tell you when you returned from Vietnam... But you didn't. Merrill Glass
well, shit... It's a hell of a thing when someone doesn't come home. And isn't ironic when they leave so determined... To change everything? To make a big difference? To lend their support? But what we imagine is incredibly different often enough than the situation on the ground. For all the fallen, let it be known you are gone but you'll never be forgotten.
I thank them for my freedom and grateful I'm here to celebrate Veterans Day instead of being remembered today.
