Remember those who gave their lives

Submitted by on

It was in Viet Nam I learned what guns can really do. They separated families, friends and comrades in arms. I still can see the death and carnage from my tour over there. This is a hard weekend for me becasue it is about remembering those who died.
What I remember is they gave their lives so we could maintain our freedoms. (I'll leave it alone)
I salute them for their courage and their sacrifice.

My sister and I stopped by our mother's grave

out at Wisconsin Memorial Park in Brookfield WI to put out some flowers for my late sister Ann. They have hundreds/thousands of flags on display on the patriotic holidays there. A nice woman offered us one for a grave but as the only member of our family at that burial plot who served was dad and as he's approaching Alaska on his month or more road trip with his older brother -- Dad served at the tail-end of WWII, Norman who is older served in Korea -- we declined as he would prefer to not be buried next to mom while still alive.

is when I served in the navy as a hospital corpsman. It was a quiet time for the most part. My father served in the Navy during World War II. Some time tomorrow the wife, the children, and I will go visit the cemetery where my Mom and Dad are buried. My son Daniel's grave is there too.

Einstein described insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the result to change. Was Albert a reader of TG fiction then?

Thank you all who served....

I realized a long time ago that I didn't have what it took to be a soldier, and that's always bothered me; I've always felt the coward. Due to my inherent clumsiness and my inability to focus when most necessary, I knew I'd never have made it thru basic training.

However, I've always appreciated what my friends and relatives did for our country, risked their lives for, and this may sound cliche but is so true, our liberty.

Living where I do now where there is no concept of the value of the individual, no real rights other than the whim of the ruling oligarchy, I appreciate what we have in the US, Canada, Western Europe, Japan, New Zealand, Australia and anywhere else there is a true functioning democracy. 'Freedom' is just a word for many until you see what it means to not have it - slavery is just as ugly dressed up in this century's city's skyscrapers as it was, or still is, dressed up in this and past centuries' farm silos.

Thank you all for what you've done.

I add my thanks for all those who served, and gave their all.

I served in the USAF from 1966-1974, but never made it into anyplace where there was armed conflict.

I met many who WERE involved in combat, and they got, and will always get, my deepest, most heartfelt respect, something they earned. So many went there and never returned, and so many who did return, have never been the same.

On this Memorial Day, I want to honor those who gave their all, so that all of us could live free.

God Bless you, every one, and Thank you, for your sacrifices and your service. You were, and are, the best of the best.

In gratitude, I am,
