May we never forget...
Those who fought and died for ours freedoms. It is Memorial Day in the US which usually means a nice spring/summer day off, American flags everywhere and good BBQ and friends. May we take a moment today and remember our fallen all over the globe not just in the US.
Oh and if you are like me you will be binge watching Band of Brothers on HBO to celebrate.

Band of Brothers a good choice. "I'm not a hero, but i served with many..."
"Pressing on when personal situation is hopeless for the greater good" makes me think of William Holden as commander Shears in Bridge on the River Kwai.
Ribs & grilling this evening...some appropriate playing cards this morning with my 6 yr old son.
Happy Memorial Day to all, and thanks to those who gave "their last full measure of devotion."
To me, Memorial Day is not about fighting or military strength. It is about loss and rememberance.
In my mind, this is an iconic Memorial Day image
I would never have associated military service to ones country, coupled with a grieving family member as taking any political stance. Your post seemed a fitting reminder to those who serve & sacrifice for their country.
