My thoughts for today are summed up in the patriotic song of our generation:
"And I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I'd gladly stand up next to you And defend Her still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God Bless the U.S.A."
Memorial Day is a remembrance of those who have served and died in service....this is the distinction between Memorial Day and Veterans Day (which honors those of us who have served and lived to be veterans of the services).
