Fun had by all yesterday and last night honoring our veterans on Memorial Day.

It began with a Car show and memorial gathering of patriots and veterans rain or shine.
Here is the Captain in the rain at the show meeting a fellow Marine Corps Veteran. Craig served us all from 1975 to 1979 he was acrash crew Sergeant of Marines stationed with the air wing ( as we say swining with the wing) of our Marines Corps.
How about this NEW GUY and I mean new! Fernando Graduated Army boot camp FOUR days ago at Fort Leonard Wood MO.. He is a Pvt with the US Army reserves. He serves with 744th Engineer Company out of Ogden, Utah.
Proud patriot supporter of Gartforvets.org. Check out that hat! Thank you so much for your support.
Rain did not stop the show or the ceremony conducted by the VFW honnor guard.

Awesome tribute to all our service members
Rain will not stop these dedicated patriots in honoring our fallen

May we never forget those who sacrificed it all so that we may live free. God Bless, until we can all be together again.

May we all be together again.

It is a day to remember those who volunteered to serve our nation all the way back to 1775, when our patriot brothers and sisters stood for the first fight for our “FREEDOM and LIBERTY”.

Many wars, conflics, interventions, call it whatever the hell you want, right or wrong our military has always been at the tip of spear, defending freedom here at home and around the world. America has been the beacon of light standing as an example to the world that a nation of freedom and liberty is God given and worth everything defending. Since 1775 until today our nation has shed the blood of hundreds of thousands of our youngest men and women who voluntarily stood for the freedoms we fought and died for to become a free nation.

Most young people don’t realize those in uniform are taking their place today in military service. In peace time or war without those willing to step up and serve, there would be a draft, taking the choice to serve away from all young people ages 18-21.

Most young people sadly can’t really tell you why we celebrate Memorial Day. Let us who know how important this day and this weekend is. Take the time to educate our young generation as to why we celebrate and hold dear this day and weekend. Have the barbeques, time off and enoy the parades, but remember those who can’t be here, who did not come home and who died defending our freedoms. Also, remember and honor those who bare the horrible wounds of war physical or emotional, for they have sacrificed so much for us all and still do.

May we remeber them all, stand proud for our country again and honor all those who stand and serve us all in this nation. Our military and our first responders are on the front lines everyday and it is for all of us.

May God Bless the United States of America! May we all meet again in a better place where we can thank those who were called home too soon, who gave their lives and sacrificed so that we could live free until our elderly years with grandchildren and all that goes with a life well lived.

Semper Fidelis America
