Thanks for the link

Freedom is not free.

Reminds me of a Ben Franklin quote

I am grateful for the service of those who helped ensure our liberty. As Ben Franklin said, "those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

That Link

is like a 24 hour news program intro.

I didn't know it was a holiday ... i'm foreign, i just didn't know. So walk 2 miles to work in the stinking sun because no buses were running.

I thought this stuff (memorial for veterans, war dead etc) was done in November.

I agree with the sentiment.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

-Thomas Jefferson

Have a good memorial day everyone. Let us not forget those who have refreshed the tree.

Thank you Sharpie...it IS a time to remember and be grateful. So many forget what it took to make and keep us free..and still does today. My father never talked about his WWII service but he didn't need to speak. His eyes always told his story when questions were asked.
