I think of WHY we are celebrating this weekend. So many brave people have gone on, giving their lives for FREEDOM and to keep us free. Probably no family has gone untouched through the years without a memory they wish to honor a special someone. All of our lives somehow touch when we do this. I have people from the Civil War, I can never forget on this weekend, the things they did so long ago. The battles of their own personal lives as well as those for their country and rights of all of us.. Many came home, if at all, their health destroyed by the poor conditions they endured. My great grandfather was just one of my my relatives from that era. Other wars and battles have been so devastating taking from us so many serving our country without a thought of their sacrifice. Many have lived out their days feeling unappreciated for all they did. I cared back in those days and NO, I will not forget you and what you did.
Thank you,
grandma
