More Than A Name On A Wall

[rice paddy daddy]

This weekend has become, for many, just another three day weekend.
But some still remember.
And some can't forget.





Sunday I will be with the local AMVETS placing flags on veteran graves at the two nearby town cemetaries.
Monday I will join my VFW Brothers as they hold the traditional ceremony at 11:00 in one town, and 1:00 at the other.
It's the least I can do.
Please, if there is a Memorial Day Service in your town, please attend.
It's the least you can do.

I too shall be attending the VFW flag raising and ceremonies on Monday! May our fallen Brothers rest peacefully in the arms of the Lord!

GOD BLESS THEM ALL may they rest in peace they so justly earned.

Thanks for your service

Thanks for your service

I was never a hero, but I am humbly grateful that God allowed me to serve with them.
445 men of the 1st Infantry Brigade, 5th Infantry Division (Mechanized) have their names engraved on The Wall.

Don't sell yourself short. As far as I'm concerned, anyone that has ever worn our country's uniform walks on water. I am awed, and humbled by them. "Thank You" is woefully inadequate to express my undying gratitude.

Thank you, sir.

This is not, in fact, national Barbecue day. Thank you for posting sir.

When I first heard of the "Wall" I wasn't to crazy about the idea, but having been there and walked by it several times I am impressed. Not many dry eyes viewing it either. Like 9/11, "we will never forget" all those who fought and gave their all for this country.
