Memorial Day Usa

WE REMEMBER We are neither Communist nor Socialists. We are Americans, living in the land of the free. Never to forget, to pray and to bend the knee! Millions died for us,to defend this Constitutional democracy. In many wars, far abroad, young Americans, lost their lives, defending many foreign nations. This is the day to honor them, their contribution to humanity with inner contemplations. Sadly, we think, this day is for celebration? Wrong,..it’s a day to remember all we have, and we do not regard. We think it is all about picnics and beer, in our back yard? This is a day to both honor and remember all who died! Americans, do hang your flag outside with pride. A day to remember all, who fought for you, but now sleep in peace, in God’s eternal, sparkling starlightL 5/28/2022

A day of gratuity for those who gave their lives and in many cases, health to protect us all. Well penned tribute.

I am proudly hanging my American flag today to remember and honor all the valiant ones who paid for our freedoms with their lives. Like Pearl Harbor day and 9/11, it is a sobering reminder that freedom isn't free; it comes with a cost, and there will always be those who want to take it away.

A fitting memorial, Pangie, to all who have made the ultimate sacrifice protecting the homeland. Thanks, Gershon

Hi, Gershon. They did protect the Homeland, indeed. And died protecting other countries as well. We live in a sterilized world that shows no pictures of these Tortured dead. Americans do not understand the cost! Nor our kissing the feet of China will cost us. Heaven protect us and our valued allies.... You’re welcome! Pangie

Hello, Bill! I think we cannot fathom 1.2 million dead Americans! And I sense the gov. Toying with war right now. It’s so frightening. A loss to be incurred again! Golly, I hope not. Only this time, it will be nuclear. Heaven help us! Thanks for remembering. Pangie

A great poem written on Memorial Day Weekend. So true. We should be pausing for reflection rather than celebration.
