Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day. This day has significant meaning for me. My grandfather was in the Army and served in Korea. My great grandfather served in WWII in the Army. My father served in Vietnam in the Navy. A few of my uncles have served in the military and my mother was in the Army. I have the utmost respect for those who serve our country to protect freedom and make things safe for us. It's a hard job to do and countless men and women have lost their lives doing it. Remember them. Good Poem:

In Flanders Fields By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) Canadian Army
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Good song:

Find the Cost of Freedom by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Daylight again, following me to bedI think about a hundred years ago, how my fathers bledI think I see a valley, covered with bones in blueAll the brave soldiers that cannot get older been askin' afteryouHear the past a callin', from Ar- -megeddon's sideWhen everyone's talkin' and noone is listenin', how can wedecide?(Do we) find the cost of freedom, buried in the groundMother earth will swallow you, lay your body downFind the cost of freedom, buried in the groundMother earth will swallow you, lay your body down(Find the cost of freedom buried in the ground)
