The weekend is here. A weekend of sales, picnics, fun and games.
I have no objection to any of those. And I am almost a pacifist. Almost. Not quite. So I'm not a fan of things military.
I remember when I was a kid that if there was a man on the street anywhere, he was in uniform. My father was in the navy, and he is buried in a military cemetery. (He was not killed during the war.) I just noticed that I wrote "the war." That's WWII. Young as I was, that war made a big impression on me.
I hope you have a great weekend. There's nothing wrong with having fun. But, if you have a minute, do think of those men and women who gave their lives in defense of The United States of America. I don't happen to agree with some of the wars we have fought since WWII, but IMHO I think we owe the fallen in those wars at least a show of respect.
Very good advice. I'll take it.
ReplyDeletei'll take it, too, tlp...thanks!
ReplyDeleteAmen to that!!!
ReplyDeleteI just could not forget those cut down in the flower of their youth of all nations. Ever.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. Happy Memorial Day.
ReplyDeletei really could not agree more.
ReplyDeleteYeah,
ReplyDeletewhat you said.
I agree with you TLP....I too don't agree with almost any of the wars we have fought since WW2...But I do believe with all my heart, that the men and women who fought in these wars---in ALL the wars before, too, deserve our respect and our Honor.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a lovely weekend my dear....And here we are in the middle of another one...And it is almost "Rabbit Rabbit" time, once again....!
