Memorial Day! - Freedom Is Not Free!
 

What is Memorial Day weekend?

For some, it is simply 3 days off work. For others, it is a whole lot of savings at department stores nationwide. BUT for most of US, it is a day to remember our fallen troops that have fought in battles WORLDWIDE. You might know someone who serves, has served, or was lost in battle!

GIVE THANKS TO A VETERAN!

Very true!!!:iagree:

Allot of people sacrificed allot for our freedoms and we must not forget the men & women that fought,served,injured,died.

The cost of freedom is very high.

:usa:

God bless our active military, our veterans, and those who've sacrificed their lives for us.

:iagree:

:usa: to all my fallen brothers at arms, and to those who support our military families...
the men and woman of active duty service, its a pleasure to serve along side you, but don't forget your soldiers at home, the ones who support while we are far and away. :usa:

Freedom Is Not Free!

I watched the flag pass by one day.
It fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine saluted it,
and then he stood at ease.
I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
He'd stand out in any crowd.
I thought how many men like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil?
How many mothers' tears?
How many pilots' planes shot down?
How many died at sea?
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?

No, freedom isn't free.

I heard the sound of TAPS one night,
When everything was still
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
That TAPS had meant "Amen,"
When a flag had draped a coffin
Of a brother or a friend.
I thought of all the children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives.
I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea
Of unmarked graves in Arlington.

No, freedom isn't free.

Have a Safe Memorial Day! :usa: :usa:

Memorial Day Thoughts
 

A very special heart-felt thought to my comrades-in-arms and their families who've made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can have the freedoms that we all enjoy today -- God Speed!

And Thanks Jose for starting the thread!
