Memorial Day
« on: May 29, 2010, 09:53:08 AM »
Please take a few minutes this weekend to remember those who, in answering the call of our Republic, gave "the last full measure" for her.

And buy a Buddy Poppy and wear it with pride.

     subdjoe-you're right, buy those poppies.  My wife makes sure she takes the kids w/ her when she goes
out shopping and makes sure they have something to put in the donation bucket.  They don't have to be told to wear the poppies, they put them on themselves.  As you raise them so they will be.  And they always
have a salute too.

Yep...I used to go with my dad to sell poppies when I was still in  short pants.  I now wish I could remember  the stories I heard from some of the gentlemen who did walk over Flanders Fields.  There one one that was a Span-Am War vet.  Thinking about him shows how young our republic is.  I shook his hand.  He knew Civil War vets.  They likely knew Revolutionary War vets (or if not, then their fathers did).  So, in just 4 (maybe 5) handshakes, we can span the full history of our Republic.
