Memorial Day not just the unofficial first day of Summer but a Day to remember and pay respect...

Rest in Peace PATRIOTS!
YOUR SACRIFICE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
STRENGTH AND HONOR.
LOVE AND LIGHT, Patriots.

My father was in WWII. So was his brother, who was killed when a German sub torpedoed his ship. So I always think of both of them on Memorial Day.

On this day I Honor and Respect all the Men and Women whom gave their all defending this great nation.

Additionally, in special memory I Honor & Respect the 30 souls that perished beside me on Firebase Mary Ann March 28. 1971. By the grace of God I survived that Sapper attack which also left 82 men wounded.

My dad with his squad somewhere in the mountains
of Italy 1944. He survived, but many of his friends didn't, His best friend survived,
but was never the same. Dad had nightmares off and on till he passed in 2004.
But other than that, he was a normal good hearted guy.
