Amen NYMAFIA ! I am humbled every time I see a veteran because of their courage and patriotism. I dont have the courage they have. God Bless our veterans as well as those currently serving. Unfortunately only one political party acknowledges our vets. That was never the case until 10-15 years ago.
If it weren't for the valiant and selfless efforts of our veterans, the landscape of the world would look much differently today, and we would probably all be speaking German.
The young men who came before us, the ones who gave up their own lives and dreams to defend the U.S. (and the world at large), are the ones who make it possible for all of us to live the wonderful lives that we do!
As I stated above, it is a debt we owe them that we will never be able to repay!!!
Not only for our veterans who fought in WWI and WWII (which were "truly" world wars, encompassing so many nations of the world,) but for all the young men and women who fought in all the battles through the decades, from full-scale wars, to single battles and military 'skirmishes'....
Recognized on the last Monday in May, each year, "Memorial Day" is both a sober day (for those who lost their lives,) and a celebratory one (because their bravery is what protected our freedom.) But regardless of viewpoint, we recognize it with our hats off, hat in hand, toward those who "gave it all"...for us...for Freedom!
Let Freedom Ring!
