One more of my brothers in the American Legion has passed on. I will be at the funeral tomorrow. Let us hope that more young veterans join the American Legion and help to keep America on track. Now, more than ever, we need young veterans to join up and help us promote "Americanism" and "Common Sense" in our Great Nation.
This just brings to the fore-front of my mind, the fact that Memorial Day is much more important than most Americans see it as. This is a time when all of us need to reflect on the lives of those that have gone before us and the sacrifices that they have made. Our young people have no idea what the, (as they would call them, "Geezers") went through to preserve the freedoms that they enjoy today.
I have made it possible in my small way, to write a "Memorial Day Tribute" in honor of these "Fallen Heros". I have had a small amount of "Memorial Day Tributes", most of the responses that I have gotten though, have been negative. This just makes it more important to me to continue to try and spread the word that Our Great Nation has lost it's way!
Put a flag on a grave, say thanks to a servicemember, join a Veterans' group, talk to your kids, stand when a flag goes by at a parade and may God Continue To Bless The United States Of America!
