memorial day

[rockriver]

many served...
many didn't come home
many came home injured.

I honor them...
it's a shame but most of the country only considers this
ribs and dogs celebration.

This weekend I am commemerating all those who gave their lives in the service of our country.
Especially the 514 men of the 1st Infantry Brigade, 5th Infantry Division (Mechanized) who perished in the Vietnam War.

[rockriver]

thanks rice,
I appreciate your service and ask The Lord to bless the families of the 514

I've learned that I can learn a lot about my associates in my physical community/church/family

and in my virtual/internet/etc... community by their response to our nations defenders.

from an email that came today..

bringing back a memory... seeing my senior associate pinning my junior associate.

I know a number of folks who do not honor those that gave their all.
or those that served and made it home..

it has become very clear that this lack of respect carries over to many other
areas of life, and what I/we can expect of them in the future. having this knowledge of associates
is extremely valuable.

Lord bless them all. No greater love...

To all those men and women in uniform who died serving this country, Thank you and may the lord keep you in peace.
