It is a shame that people have forgotten what Memorial Day is for.It is not to tahnk a the Vets. for their service,but to our men and women who have given their lives in battle or as a result of their wounds.We thank people who serve on Veterans Day.I remember my friends who were K.I.A,s in Vietnam-DennisDennySchlott,Tommy Cardiff,and CharlesChuckCollene.To me this is a solemn day of honoring those and all the others that have laid it all down.God Bless-Semper Fi-Mike

This is the day when all of us can hold our heads high and proclaim our pride for a job well done. We must never forget those who fell, those who came home wonded,and those of us who are still in th fight. We are yhe bachbone to the security of our great nation. There would be no protection for our nation with out the job we have done through the centuries, from the minute men to the badest of todays kick butt special forces. Never hang your heads always stand tall. God bless all.

kazino788,
Although I was in the Army in the early 70s and was rather young, I dont think I ever realized the importance of serving my country and the sacrifices so many made before me. I am very honored and thankful for the opportunity I had to serve my country. After a trip to the WWII museum in New Orleans it was actually the D Day Museum the first time I visited there, I realized the brave men and women of the Greatest Generation strapped on a pack, laced up their boots and picked up a weapon and saved our world. No one said Hell no, I wont go. I was profoundly moved by the visit to the museum and will be forever grateful for the men and women that saved our world from tyranny.

bratamism,
The absolute best Memorial Day parades were in the cities of San Diego and Honolulu. Huge parades with great floats. It seemed like those cities with military installations would have the best parades. When I was young, I would march with the Boy Scouts and also with American Legion Post 6 in our home town as well as Cincinnati and Cleveland. Dad would not miss a parade, he was honored.
