This day, Memorial Day, is a time for remembrance of all those who lost their lives defending our country. I would suggest it is also a time to re-dedicate our selves to protecting our country for our future generations. It is in this way that we will really honor our fallen members. God bless the United States of America.

Memorial Day
By
Gabriel Gonzalez
It?s another three day weekend
A time for having fun
What is this holiday really for
When everything is said and done
This day started out to honor
Those who had made the ultimate sacrifice
Now we see it as another day off
To barbeque with drinks on ice
But let us take some time
To remember those who went before
Those who struggled so hard
To keep open freedoms door
Think of those whose lives were given
On the grounds of Bunker Hill
Those of the American Revolution
Fighting so that we could have free will
World War I took the American Doughboy
To fight in someone else?s yard
We lost so many young men then
But still they fought hard
The Second World War was to end it all
Tyranny, Racism and Oppression
The only thing that we learned
Was that war keeps coming in succession
The Korean War was our next test
Followed by the exotic lands of Nam
We have almost perfected the way
To kill others just with a bomb
More recent events have caused us
To pray for peace once again
Desert Shield and Desert Storm
Pushed back a madman?s reign
Now comes an enemy that hides
Thinking he will die a martyr
He kills the innocent indiscriminately
Making our resolve that much stronger
All of them should be remembered
From Yorktown to the Twin Towers
Enjoy your day of relaxation
But remember them to the higher Power

Today is a time to remember those who arent with us any longer. Some were lost while on active duty, but just as important are those we have lost after theyir seperation due to circumstances from actuive duty. All our conflicts have scarred veterans severly, some seperate not knowing that they will health issues from their service. Most recently the Gulf War Syndrome. God Bless them, and Rest in Peace!

M.A.,
When I
think of Memorial Day, it brings to my mind a Holiday
to come together with family, loved ones & friends, to
reflect, honor and give thanks to the many heroic men
and women who have sacrificed their lives for our
freedom and great country. Furthermore, it is a day to
give thanks to our active military and Veterans, who
have and currently are protecting our American nation.
Thanks to all our U.S. military personnel, both past
and present. U.S. Veterans, we thank you and appreciate you, and all that you have done.
