………………..MEMORIAL DAY……for me……is the most solemn day of the year. I know people have a day off from work and want to have a good time, and who can blame them……The news is horrible, and times are tough, and any reason to enjoy a free day is a good one…….However, we can’t forget the meaning of this day…..It is to remember all of those men and women who have given their lives so ours can be free….and to show a great appreciation for the veterans who have defended us, and those who have to live with the wounds, both physically and mentally, that they have incurred fighting for our freedom……With all of the fighting around the world, and within our own nation, and all of the enemies this country has….like Russia, China, North Korea and Iran…..how can we not fear the future……I don’t fear so much for myself, because as Jac used to tell me we are on the “shady side”, but what about all of the young people today like my great nephews and nieces who don’t really know the devastation of war, because they haven’t lived though it…So many don’t even know what the Holocaust was!…….The future is so precarious and frightening, and no one knows what is going to happen from one day to another……The one thing we do know is to be thankful for our men and women in the armed services around the world…..REMEMBER the fallen, and pray for the safety of those brave men and women defending us every day….and pray they come home unharmed……..God bless them and protect them.
