Memorial day 2011

Memorial day

this being the day sat aside to honor

our friends and family that

have fought for

our freedoms that we now

enjoy

most days I forget that it is the ones that have fought

for years for our everyday freedoms

I am thankful that they were ready to go

and do the best for our country

as we are known  for the home of the free and the brave

this weekend I say thanks to all that

have fought in the past and are fighting now
for our freedoms

      I had five our of six brothers 
that have served and fought for our freedoms  
I am proud that they helped
in keeping our freedoms   

If you know someone that has or is fighting for our freedoms

say thank you to them

let us not let those go unnoticed

for their unselfish acts

Lest we forget the meaning of this holiday weekend while our backyards are filled with family and the scent of food cooking on the grill, Memorial Day honors the American men and women who have died in military service to their country. These service members’ commitment and dedication to the United States of America resulted in the ultimate sacrifice, paying a dear price for our continued liberty and freedom. They will not be forgotten!

Wishing all a safe and happy weekend
