Thread: Memorial Day weekend

Tracker123...you roll any way you want...Every person that served in the Armed Forces has helped you keep that privilege....As for me..I thank every Vet..Every day I get a chance, and will continue to do so. I don't need a holiday to do so... I have 3 Grandsons serving now..That's. The way I roll.....

I roll nicely. Memorial Day is what it is - to remember those that died for our country. I understand those that have served. Yes, I must definitely thank the vets, but this weekend is not the time for that.

I have mixed feelings on it...I do think that out of respect to our fallen service people and their families that we really should try to refrain from that and let memorial day be theirs, and that is what I am going to do. But I also feel that we that walked the walk and not just the talk.... can welcome home a brother anytime we want....we earned that right not just for us but for everyone.....Its a free country ...If somebody wants to thank a vet or welcome them home ...they should go ahead if they are compelled too. Thanks for keeping this discussion civil.

I had friends in my high school graduating class that did not make it back.......They never got to know what it was like having a civilian job....buying a house, getting married...or having and raiseing kids.... I also had people that I served with that did not make it back home. They lost it all. They did it for us....so I am going to spend the rest of this holiday weekend remembering them......That said, I think this is a good time to close this thread.
