Memorial Day Weekend

[Foofoogal]

Memorial Day and Veterans Day always makes me think of my father.

May we all say a prayer or send out a good thought for the soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice and the families that love them.
I pray for the families this weekend. As we eat our BBQ may we take a moment. When I sit and really think about it all there are no words to express how deeply I feel about these soldiers. Honor and respect are so due these brave, unselfish men and women.
We still as a family have military and one in harms way but many in my family have come home safe and sound. I am eternally grateful.

Amen.

 

[Harp]

Amidst storm of emeralds,
Golden red rubies and sapphire rings,
I hear names sung that were writ to the wind.

Yet whisper the stars,
higher than doves,
"Within the heart live those whom are loved."

"To Our Fallen Comrades who have ridden before and have earned their hallowed places in Fiddler’s Green."

today at 3:00 p.m. a moment of pause. This was enacted in 2000 as the Natl. Moment of Remembrance for the more than 1 million men and women who have died for our Freedom.
Major League Baseball games will stop, Amtrak trains will blow their whistles
and 6200 Buglers across America will play "Taps."
