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

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

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.

Having served for 27 Glorious years and am still supporting the troops as a civilian contractor. I am not only Honored but humbled on this day. The Motto of the Viet-nam ERA was We came together and we will all come home together Is burned in my memory forever. Although we have fallen comrads that were left behind, WE will not let their sacrifice or memory be forgotten. Memorial Day is a day of rememberance and humbleness for the FREEDOM we all share. May God Bless this Country Forever.
Respectfully,
DCC Langford USN Retired.

Russell L. Smith USMC VET RVN,
As a Vietnam Marine Veteran I spend a quiet day at home to honor all fallen comrades. I fly two special flags that were flown over the capital, One for a close friend who I grew up with, graduated high school with, were in the boy scouts together and were Marine brothers. The other flag is for my Marine brother who I had the great honor and privilege to escort home to his final resting place. One flag flys from 6am to 9am and the other 9am to noon at half mast. At night we light candles and say a prayer for all fallen warriors who gave their lives to protect our freedom. Our flag flys 24-7-365 to honor all who gave some and some who gave all. God bless the USA and God bless the Marine Corps

janet,
I will celebrate this Memorial Day with family and a few friends. Of course we will be grilling. In my own quiet, private way I will remember my father, who served in the army, WWII, and made his transition in 2001; my mother, who made her transition in 2009; and my special high school friend, PFC DWIGHT PINZA MC KEATHON, DOB 06/23/1949, KIA 08/02/1969, QUANG TIN, SOUTH VIETNAM. I especially honor and remember him. He made the ultimate sacrifice...he gave his life. Blessed be, gentle warrior. I will remember and honor u forever.

When I think of Memorial Day the men
and women who made the ultimate sac-
rifice in all the wars that we were
involved in. Least that we never forget and honor our fallen heroes.
