Remembering..... Memorial Day 08

[Ed Caffrey]

Today is Memorial Day. A day set aside to honor this nation's heroes......that being the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines who have kept this country and her people safe and free. Its a time to honor not only those fallen heroes, but also those who are alive and well. Whomever you envision as a hero, take the time to remember their sacrifices in the name of this Great Nation and her People.

Officially, today at 3pm is set aside as a moment of silence to remember.

Remember the courage they've shown, the blood they've spilled, and ask yourself if you love this nation enough to offer your life for its safety, security, and freedom. Without those who do/did, its likely that all of us would be living a very different life.

We are truly a blessed nation, and a blessed people. Remember those who have chosen to dedicate their lives to secure that blessing and ensure it's continuance.
