"All gave some; some gave all." Trace Adkins - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOih0MHNmZU Tim McGraw - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-o9aCoeGoI&feature=related - - - - - - - - I thank God every day for giving me the opportunity to serve with some of the finest people on the planet. May each and every one in 4042 land have a safe and joyful holiday weekend.
Kent, thanks for the link. And, I echo your sentiment that the men and women with whom I served are the finest people I'll ever be privileged to know. I honr the service of all who gave some, and those some that gave all. Carl
Memorial Day has always been special in my family. My dad came home from Korea (the 3 tours he did) each time with an injury but alive. Some weren't as fortunate. I thank God for all of the men and women who have fought for our country.
Just a few meanderings: I still get goose bumps whenever the National Anthem is played at any event. I still remember vividly how everyone on base used to come to attention & salute and stop their vehicles and get out when we heard morning reveille and evening taps. A military funeral is one of the most touching events I've ever seen. It should be required for everyone to visit Arlington National Cemetery and watch the changing of the Guard. I still have my dog tags on my key chain.
Huh, DH's dog tags are on my key chain as well. I was listening to the radio today on the way to 4042 and "I'm proud to be and AMERICAN" came on - screamed it singing it and didn't even care! A HUGE Thank You to the men and women who have served our country!
