Happy Memorial Day

[DG Hear]

This is a must see video. It's a bit long but no words are spoken. For all the servicemen and women ever to wear a uniform, "I thank you, and God Bless You".

With Respect

Happy and Memorial are two words which shouldn't be together. Monday should be placed aside to remember those who, in the service to our country, have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Post-9/11 pseudo-patriotism has taken over this holiday.

You are somewhat correct. We do enjoy happiness because of what others have fought and and died for. It is a time of remembrence of others as well as friends and family. I do remember many happy times with them as well.

The video says a lot but there are no words.
Thanks for commenting

Eulogy for a Veteran

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.


I am the Gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of
quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
