Memorial Day

[AzDiamondHeat]

To those who have served, are serving, or have loved ones in the service, I personally(ok, not PERSONALLY) want to share my gratitude.

 

 

Thank you for the sacrifices you have made so that we can have the freedom to act like total idiots.

My family hasn't lost any kin I know of since WWI. But I do recall our nation lost an icon on Memorial Day weekend 1971.

No words can describe the appreciation I have for those who have served and currently serve on behalf of the freedoms I enjoy!

My family is blessed and we are so thankful for those willing to defend our country!

Thank you very much!!!!

Be safe out there everybody!!!

While I appreciate the above sentiments concerning men and women veterans, Memorial Day is in remembrance of those individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice. Veteran's Day is set aside for all who have served in our nation's military. We need to maintain the distinction --- there is a difference!

A BIG thanks to all that served! I didn't and some times I feel like I cheated. I missed Nam by 2 years. I thanked My Dad Of 96 years old via phone yesterday. He appreciated it too. God bless the Vets............BOB!

Memorial Day is indeed a day set aside for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, however the way I see it any day is a good day to thank our service guys past and present. I personally want to thank my fellow vets for your service. IMHO anyone that has thrown on a uniform of some sorts and a pair of boots, has given up something.

God Bless all those who gave their lives in defense of this country.

 

And as a thank you to those who are veterans, I am again offering free tickets to military veterans to attend the SCI banquet in Tucson, June 10. If you are a active military or served in the past, send me an email (see signature for email address) and let me know you want to attend.

I would suggest the documentary Underfire: The Untold Story of PFC Tony Vaccaro. The story about an infantryman on the front lines in WWII who at documented the war with his own store brought camera. It shows the first hand what he saw and documented who later started working for Stars and Stripes. Goes along way in showing what those boys went through for us.

 

Thank you to the men and woman who have given us their ultimate sacrifice.
