"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime"-MARK TWAIN

Memorial Day

 

freedom-isnt-free-flag-498x378

A good friend, and fellow Navy Veteran, posted this earlier today.  I don’t know if they’re his words or someone else’s, but the message hits home.  But for the grace of God, someone could be reading my name on a wall today.

“Every tombstone, every name on a wall or monument represents a once living young man or woman who was someone’s son or daughter. They may have been someone’s husband or wife or sweetheart. They may also have been someone’s father or mother.  One thing that they all have in common is that they were young men and women who never got the chance to become old men and women.  We need to do more to honor their memory.”

Take a moment today to remember those who gave all for our Country.  And also say a “thank you” to those still doing their part to protect our freedom…..jc

  2. Very well said! Thank you Jerry! My niece and her family are on vacation traveling from Arkansas to Maine--yesterday they were in Washington DC and she sent me a photo of the WWII memorial. Nat was here having lunch and enjoyed seeing the photo.

The Tutu app is one of the best app stores where you” ll get all the things for the best mode app. There are many Spotify++ iOS multiple apps available in this field but this is the head of PokeGo++ all the apps. In the world of apps if you download only one app which gives you all the things if you open it then it’s the best option.
