Memorial Day Weekend Remembrances
Tweet
I want to take this time to remember all our fallen service members through the history of our nation…
I have always said, If it wasn’t for the military members of our nations past, we would not have the military members we now have and will have in the future…
This weekend was always special to myself and my family for as far back as I can remember…
Our home always had the American Flag flying for this weekend…
My father would never let us forget the sacrifices of the men and women of our military, our nation endured to give us the freedoms we have.
He was a WWII Navy veteran who passed away in 1996.
He loved the USA more then life itself….
In 1991 he was able to see the USS Missouri pull into Pearl Harbor for the final time…
In this photo you can see the “Big Mo” in the background…
She was decommisioned shortly after…
And so was he….
He was a very proud man who knew that freedom was not free and passed his love for this country and its servicemembers on to every one of us kids . .
This is an open thread to post Memorial Day Weekend Rememberances
Please post yours here or if you like you can go to:
The 2nd is from the Washington Times called Search The Wall:
Now you can add your story and remembrance to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. In collaboration with the archival search company Footnote, The Times has made each of the 58,000-plus names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial searchable, a place where you can add personal stories. A digital image of the wall  actually thousands of photos fused together  locates each veteran’s name where it appears on the memorial. From there, any visitor to The Times site can leave their stories and remembrances or upload photos of veterans. Start by clicking on the “Search the Wall†box, where you can select “Search†or “View.†Once you find the name of a soldier, you can add your stories or photos.
Kudos to Mike W for the wonderful idea……
