Title: Memorial Day
Post by: WarrenD on May 26, 2015, 04:22:16 AM

It's Memorial Day here in the U.S. Just thought I'd remind my U.S. brethren to take a moment out of their day to remember all of those who gave the last full measure.

Slow Salute,

Warren

Yes, I salute!

A formation of AT-6 Texans just flew over my house. Gotta love that sound! ;D

So true Warren as we take time to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.  I'm sitting home watching old war movies on tv, unfortunately none about WW1.

"If you are able,
 save for them a place
 inside of you
 and save one backward glance
 when you are leaving
 for the places they can
 no longer go.
 Be not ashamed to say
 you loved them,
 though you may
 or may not have always.
 Take what they have left
 and what they have thaught you
 with their dying
 and keep it with your own.
 And in that time
 when men decide and feel safe
 to call the war insane,
 take one moment to embrace
 those gentle heroes
 you left behind "
