J. Dumas,
I will ride with my biker friends to Pinelawn Cemetery, Sat. morning 5-26, here on Long Island and decorate the graves of our fallen with American Flags. Always remember my Uncle John and my father, both were WW II Veterans. My father-in-law, Louis Paladino, Korean War Veteran. Just this week joined the American Legion Riders and the Patriot Guard Riders club. Our home is decorated with Old Glory and POW/MIA flags. Always proud to be an American and thankful for those who have given me my freedoms!! God Bless our Veterans. God Bless our Troops! POW/MIA I will never, ever forget !!


anonymous,
I think of my friends who never got a chance to live a full life...those of us disabled and never even knew it...and those that live with it everyday. None of us asked to walk through the valley of tears we did it because we wanted to. We fought, not because of some politicians idea of war, but for the man, or woman, right next to you. Those of us that are here, should always remember those that arent, because its through the sacrifice that they made, insured we would have the life we have today. Welcome home to all the Brothers and Sisters in arms.


John Menzel,

Karl Butler,
A lot men lost their lives for the freedom of this country. But their are a lot of kids that do not understand this concept. I wish nothing but happiness and peace for this nation of ours. I wish that no one had to die for freedom! But to keep it someone has to fight for it and I hate to say it Die for our freedom. Peace to all


Chester McGuire,

anonymous,
I moved to Elk Creek, Missouri in 2010 from Kendall, New York. I found that they dont celebrate Memorial Day like they do up North. It seems they are to busy to honor those men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice. I have tried to get people and veterans organizations intrested in a parade or Memorial Day ceremony but to no avail. It is sad if you can help contact me at: sgt1MOGUARD@centurylink.net For God and Country, Sgt D


HAL LYMUS,

Francis E. Day,
Ive marched in Memorial Day parades long before I joined a service organization and have had the privilege to host the services the last five years for our VFW Post 44 Clifton Springs, N.Y.


bob shippentower,
Memorial Day is a time for reflection and remembrance, for all those who served and are serving. Here in Pendleton, OR, we had two ceremonies in recognition of all veterans and active/reserve duty service personnel. Personally, I served in the 9th Infantry Division in Vietnam, 67-68.
