Memorial Day

[jspeligene]

"These heroes are dead. They died for liberty - they died for us. They are at rest. They sleep in the land that they made free, under the flag they made stainless............... each in the windowless place of rest. Earth may run red with other wars - they are at peace. In the midst of battle, in the roar of conflict, they found the serenity of death. I have one sentiment for soldiers living and dead: cheers for the living; tears for the dead" - Robert J. Ingersoll


Borrowed this from a post by my son Alan and Nephew Karl Heinrich.
Many thanks to all of our Veterans, past and present, for giving us the many freedoms we enjoy.

Roger that!

I ask all for each holiday to know the why of it and give pause.

Thanks for the post and sentiment.
