Memorial Day


On this Memorial Day a song by Mark Knopfler from his Get Lucky album seems appropriate; "Remembrance Day". Although written from a British perspective for a day in November to remember the fallen in battle, the lyrics seem fitting for today. The last track, "Piper To The End", is similar in poetic tone.God bless our departed loved ones.

If you think clearly as you read my post you would note that I have absolutely no intention to incite or enter into any debate to promote the “American way of life.” My post isn’t about nationalism or any other ism. It’s about remembering men and women whom we love that are no longer with us.
I will have no other responses to this. I genuinely wish you the best as my fellow human being no matter what views you hold.

People who are never been in combat seem to be a lot more fond of war
then those who have . I served over a decade and my memories are of walking through Vietnamese villages where children had been burned
to a crisp by napalm for no real reason .Remember them as well .
It is better , from a Christian perspective , to lose a war, any war, than to kill one child .
Amen @schubert .  Thank you for your service and sorry you had to experience such atrocities.  
With honor and respect to those who serve and have served our country. And a special rememberance to those who gave their lives. We honor you not only on this day, but every day.
Yes to the above sentiments!

If only we had a different commander-in-chief?
