Remember the medical personnel who’ve stood in harm’s way the last three months too.

Amen, this is cool, reminds me of how Charles Schulz would have a strip every D-Day that simply said “Never Forget” 6-6-44 Thanks to all who have given of their selves to make this world a better place.

One way or another, we WILL remember those who gave their lives in sacrifice for their country!

Happy Memorial Day to all of my friends in the United States of America.

We remember and will never forget those who gave their lives in the fight for Freedom.

May God keep the souls of those who stood for our freedom.

Freedom is never free.

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” Ronald Reagan

Thank you, Mark.

Amen.

And this year, sadly, it’s not just soldiers among the “fallen”.

This is so sweet. Thank you, Mark.

“The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain. . . .” Abraham Lincoln; November 19, 1863.

I think of the fallen and injured every day. I also remember those who sometimes put them in harm’s way without a good enough reason.

Is plastic toy soldiers still a thing?

Lio is a good, patriotic Toy boy. Proper burial for his fallen green plastic army men….

Thanks, Mark. Very nice.
