We remember the fallen. God bless the spirits of those who gave everything for the country we enjoy today.

"Whether a man falls with 20,000 others in some grand battle or all by himself on a lonely outpost, he is a 100% casualty to himself. What more is there to give?" Charles Johnson Post.

I salute every man and woman I ever served with and those I didn't. To me their names spell FREEDOM!

May we always remember what this day really means and help teach those who don't through our examples.

My Boss was invited to a ceremony at the local Veterans cemetary next door to us, she asked me to fill in for her on Sunday. I told her I would gladly do so. I will always remember those who have gone before and gave their all.

"In all of the far-flung operations of our Armed Forces, the toughest job has been performed by the average, easy-going, hard-fighting young American who carries the weight of battle on his own young shoulders. It is to him that we and all future generations must pay grateful tribute"

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them."

I like the dedication from the movie "Rough Riders"
"To the American citizen soldier
Who answered the call
Climbed the hill
And never let us down."

I've spent the week cleaning up the site of a forgotten cemetary that has Revolutionary to Civil War soldiers buried there. I probably spend some time up there every week from the Spring to the Fall. It's taken a lot of work over the past five years, but it's actually starting to turn the corner...

Will see to it that there are some Flags brought up there this weekend...
