Memorial Day

[GT63]

Memorial Day - it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. They gave all for their country,


The very least we can do is fly a flag in their honor.

I fly my flag daily, but I make sure it flies straight and true this weekend. As a military member I alway remember those that "gave all" :winkn:

It makes me proud to see folks honoring those who parished to insure our freedom. Lets not forget those who where perminately scared both physically and emotionally during their service to us. To all my brothers who died and who survived, Thank You and God Bless You.

On this day, let us lift up prayers of thanksgiving for those who have sacrificed their lives so that we might live free.

On this day, let us lift up prayers of support, seeking strength and Peace for those who have lost beloved friends and family to military service.

And on this day, let us lift up beseeching prayers that mankind might find ways to settle differences without the loss of life, that no more have to suffer.

Remember...
