Remember them by recounting their names and deeds to the younger generations. Those grandparents, parents and others. As long as someone still calls them by name they will be remembered. Those who no longer walk among us deserve to not be forgotten.
While you are enjoying your Memorial Day BBQ, picnic or parade please remember what and who this hoilday is about. quite a few of these old timers still with us spent their blood on many foriegn shores to allow us the comforts we enjoy today.
Give them all a few minutes of thought on Memorial Day. Maybe visit a local cemetery and walk among the newly planted flags. Read a few of the names on the stones and remember them to others.
You parade watchers, please stand up and acknowledge Old Glory as she goes by Teach your children to show the same respect for the banner that has covered so many servicemen and women's body's when they returned or were laid to rest in foriegn fields.
May we pause and reflect upon their contributions and silently thank them from the bottoms of our hearts for their sacrifices, not just this weekend, but every day we are alive and free.
GOD bless!

God bless them and keep them. Let's never forget what they payed the ultimate price for. We shall never let America be taken from the free. To do so would dishonor these great people who we remember this weekend.
