Memorial Day - Thanks to All Those Who Have Served in The Military

I am post this to honor all those that I know to have served in the Military to say THANKS for what you did for our country and for our families.   For the children of those who served I know you grew up as I did with a special understanding of what Memorial Day means.  I ask that you make sure your kids and grand kids know what this day means in order that it is not lost to future generation.

When you pass by a cemetery this weekend and see all those flags, know that those flags are in honor of veterans and we owe much to them. 

A photo at a parade I recently saw shows an honor guard passing with our countries flag and the only person standing is a man in the wheel chair… you can bet he is a veteran… Please make sure that he is not the only one standing when you are around.   Lets make sure our children and their children know that Old Glory demands our attention and respect every time she is raised, lowered and passes in front of us.

One of the reason that I love Baseball is at ever game we are taught to stand, face the Flag, remove our caps, put our hand over our heart and join in the singing of our National Anthem.   How Great Is That!

GOD BLESS AMERICA

                Please take a few minutes to watch this and forward to as many as possible, reminding them that this is a very special day in the life of our Nation. 

And please do not wish me a “Happy Memorial Day!”  (It makes me crazy.)         Remind others why we set this day aside, flags at half-mast until noon.
