In honor of Memorial Day I’d like to thank all of those in our Armed Services that have protected our country. A particularly poignant quote that I’d like to share:
“When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say,
For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today”
– The Kohima Epitaph
You got that right! My dad would take all the Kids to Arlington on Memorial day. I remember standing in the rain watching the ceremonies. Dad would point at a tombstone and say “you see that son, that young man was only 17, never made love or had a child and his life is over” We should cherish freedom, it has cost us a great deal.
Thanks for sharing Rich =) You’re dad sounds like a great guy.
He was. Thanks!
