For the Fallen and Those Who Were Spared
5/26/2013 4:12:37 PM

Memorial day is a reminder for us to remember those men and women across the wars who have fallen to safe guard our country,our land, our freedoms.

So many have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our ideals and values here at home,and Memorial Day is a vivid, yet stark reminder for us to remember those men and women across the wars who have fallen to safe guard our country, our land, our freedoms.

Much can be said,but the actions of "The Fallen" speak more clearly and more loudly than any words.
Leaving home,loved ones, all security to fight in wars that pose threats to our country tells everyone that our Country,these United States,is loved by its fighting men and women.Its rolling hills,its shining seas,rocky mountains,schools,churches,all that make these United States the best place in the world to live, stand strong because of the sacrifices made year after year, century after century, in war after war!

This Memorial Day,let's recommit to waving flags, attending parades, and verbally telling the veterans we know,just how much we appreciate their courage, patriotism, and sacrifices.
Let's remember "The Fallen," with reverence, respect,love and gratitude.We must also remember the loved ones they left to mourn them.These acts of kindness will not only encourage veterans,and their loved ones, they will invigorate each of us.

This Country, these United States, is the best place in the world to live, and we owe that status to our fighting men and women.Let's loudly acknowledge them this Memorial Day.
To ALL VETERANS, in whatever war, for whatever role you played, I say thank you!

What to Do next:

Get involved this Memorial Day by doing one, some, or all of the following:

* Flying a flag;
* Attending a parade;
* Thanking a veteran(s) you know;
* Providing a meal for a veteran(s) you know;
* Writing a card(s) for veterans you know;
* Whatever in like manner to the above comes to mind.
