Memorial Day

I have a very simple message on this Memorial Day.  

Tomb of the Unknown.
 

Remember them today.
WWI Cemetery at Tyne Cot, Ypres, Belgium

Remember them tomorrow.
WWII Memorial, Washington DC


Remember them in all the days to come.
Korean War Memorial, Washington DC

Remember them.
Vietnam War Memorial, Washington DC


They made the ultimate sacrifice in service to honor, duty, and country.
For those lost in both Persian Gulf Wars
To those currently in harm's way, may you safely accomplish the mission and come home to enjoy all the tomorrows of your lives.

    Sorry I couldn't get over here yesterday - this is a beautiful post and couldn't have been better said.

    Also, thank you for setting things straight over on my blog in the comments - I don't care for misinformation either especially when it's used to just stir up additional hate and discontent that this country doesn't need right now. Cooler heads really need to prevail - thank you for being one!
