Thank you to all those who have served and are serving! God bless all those who have suffered and sacrificed and bless their families as well.

The Land of the Free, because of the Brave.

May we never forget why we are free and the price of our freedom.

Thank you to all of you that serve, have served, and to those that have sacrificed everything.
We all owe you more than we can ever repay, but you incredible people do it anyway.

God bless each and every one of you.
 
Memorial day is always emotional for us. I was army, wife air force then usphs (2 wars 3 deployments), oldest daughter is starting her career in the army, every generation of both my wife and my family has served and we remember and appreciate them all.

Coming to the end of her career 27 years 3 to go

Preparing to start her career. Taking her oath.

I'm prouder of both of them than I can say, both of them are heroes to me.
 
We honor the brave service members who gave all and express our eternal gratitude to their families.
 
Words cannot express the gratitude to those who have served and their families who they leave to protect us.
 
I'll be cleaning some old guns I inherited from my Grandfather. He enlisted in the Navy in 1939. He served until 1944, when he was discharged due to injuries he suffered when his ship (the Liscomb Bay) was torpedoed an sank by a Japanese submarine. He taught me to hunt and fish and gave me my first knife, when I was 6 years old. It had a spoon and fork on it and was duller than the back side of a butter knife. When I was 8, he gave me an Old Timer. I carried those knives to school all the time.
When I think of the horrors he saw and the pain he endured for the freedom of this country, I couldn't be more proud of him. Now this weekend, I'll watch politicians sleek about how mad they are that veterans are dying while waiting months to see a doctor. If I keep going, it'll turn into a political rant. I'll just say, God bless our vets and I miss my Granddaddy.
 
God bless all who have served their country and those who are currently doing so – your service is very much appreciated! :thumbup:
 
Reflect on Memorial Day, originated for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

They will not be forgotten. We owe them everything.
 
I do believe that all of the countries represented on this forum have got their versions of this day ,to commemorate those that have given so much to so many. They deserve to be treated with respect by all. The large majority of them give us ( common citizens) that courtesy.....

Peace to those that have returned; prayers to those that remain out there.....

The man on the left is my Great Uncle Glenn Morgan, BGM3. For those of you who don't recognize that rating, it is "Bugler's Mate, 3rd Class". This is the second Memorial Day since he passed.
