Memorial Day

Today is the day when the United States of America remembers those who have fallen. Over one million men and women have giving their lives for freedom, in defense of this nation and its ideals. In the name of the Constitution and the government.

Let us forget the politics, ignore the radical posturing, and remember these people.

Fathers.
Mothers.
Sons.
Daughters.
Brothers.
Sisters.

Family.

Gone now and too often forgotten over time.

This day remember the farmer soldiers who took a stand with General George Washington to stop a trained military and its tyrannical King.

This day remember the brothers who fought to help President Lincoln keep a young nation together and end the scourge of slavery.

This day remember the draftees who went over there to stop a horrific trench war that was stagnant and where millions where dying in mud.

This day remember the men and boys, women and girls, blacks and whites who gave their lives in the greatest conflict the world has ever know to stop the most powerful and murderous dictator ever and his allies.

This day remember the oft forgotten war on the slopes of the small nation of Korea and those who died there.

This day remember the war that pained a nation, that brought a people to the brink, and that still lingers in the souls of the living in a small nation called Vietnam.

This day remember the soldiers fighting a new war, a war against the most radical people ever, with no thought about dying and actually wanting too. The war against terrorists and those who support them.

And all the other wars that has seen this nation's people rise up in support and give their blood and family too.

Remember.
