Memorial Day

Today is Memorial Day, 2007.

Today is a day to remember the Americans and others who have paid with their lives for us to continue to have all the opportunities and events in our own lives that we will cherish forever.

Too many men and women have paid the ultimate price for our freedom and our ability to debate, discuss, and deal with all we deal with today and into the future.

Honoring the memories of these souls may not be enough. We owe their families and their memories the best we have. They fought and died so we can live our lives as we choose, and not how it is chosen for us.

Whether or not you are a veteran like me and many others concerned with what happens at Ponte Vista, we must all never forget the sacrifices so many men and women made so we can simply write our opinions about issues.

Today and every other day, please look west from the Ponte Vista site. On this Memorial Day, Green Hills Memorial Park will have The Colors flying all over and especially near the headstones of OUR veterans. Many of those souls lived on after their service to all of us, but too many of those souls perished to give us all the freedom we enjoy.

The sacrifices of the members of OUR military continue today, all over the world.

On this day, I choose to honor all of our fallen brothers and sisters who gave to all of us, all that they could.
