![]() I would like to take a moment to bow my head to the brothers and sisters who served and gave their life. To my fellow brothers and sisters who have served, and are still serving.
Before you enjoy your day, or light that BBQ, thank a vet for your ability to do so. "For those who fought for it - freedom has a taste the protected will never know." - Unknown soldier ![]() |

![]() I suppose our equivalent of this day is Rememberence day held on the 11th of November, the day the guns fell silent on the western front in 1918.
I always thought it was a good day to have it because having to stand there in the cold and drizzle really wasn't a big deal in comparison to what these people all around had lived through. Bit hard on the older folks really, making them stand there, looking at it now but I suppose it's not likely to be at the forefront of their minds, they'll be thinking about those who never will grow old.

![]() I hope everyone had a good and safe Memorial Day and enjoyed their get-togethers and barbecues and ...ooooh, did someone say barbecue?? Oh my.... chicken legs..... ribs..... shish-ka-bobs..... barbecue sauce....
![]() Eh hem... sorry, lost my track of thought there for a second. Uhm, anyway, I worked all day. Blech. But it's money in the bank so I can't complain too much. We actually celebrate Nov 11 here in the US too. ![]() ![]() I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free! And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me!
