Memorial Day
« on: May 22, 2008, 09:57:21 AM »

Memorial Day originally (Declaration Day) began to honor the deaths of Union soldiers during the Civil War. Later, the men and women who died in all wars and millitary actions while in millitary service of their country were included...These men and women deserve our utmost gratitude; so, while we are out grilling, ridin, swimming, or whatever we all do on this day...lets set aside just a moment to stop and think what WE have and why we have it and say THANK YOU to them ALL...Everyone ride safe and have a fun weekend :2vrolijk_21:

Thanks to EL for starting this thread and of course a thank you goes out to ALL who have helped preserve our county's freedoms. Here is a quick link to some of the history of this great "holiday". http://www.usmemorialday.org/backgrnd.html

There are no words to thank those enough who have laid it on the line for our great country that enjoys more freedoms than the rest of the world combined. Actions speak louder than words. If so inclined and given the opportunity don't be afraid to reach out and shake a hand or buy a beer for a military person this weekend. These little things mean alot to those that volunteer.  :2vrolijk_21:

Tuesday May 20th, we had a memorial service here for 21 year old Sgt. Joseph Ford who was killed in Iraq.

The Patriot Riders met the plane at the airport and escorted the hearse to the funeral home. Then on Tuesday, from the funeral home to the cemetery. Quite impressive and admiralable. I just wish people would learn to at least stop traffic as is done in the south when the procession passes.
