Memorial Day - 'May We Never Forget'...

'May We Never Forget The Reason'... --------------------------------------------- SARASOTA, FL. (NS) - It is once again time for America to remember the reason WHY we celebrate Memorial Day... From the current War On Terror, to World War's I & II, along with Vietnam, Korea, Grenada and even the Spanish American and Civil War's we honor the memory of all of those who have died serving America in our Armed Forces so that we might now all be free and safe... To those of us who have survived seving in the Military during combat or peace, we take the time to stop and remember those brave young men and women who served right along beside us who are no longer with us... We also all look forward to what their sdacrifices have done in helping keep America the greatest Country on the face of the Earth... A Country that people are willing to risk their lives crossing hundreds of miles of desert just to get in to... Once again the true spirit of American comes shining thru for the World to see. We all come together, united in our resolve to help keep America the home of the brave and land of the free... That took sacrifices, sacrifices from young men and women willing to die for their Country so that those of living today could enjoy our freedoms... When our Country need us, there were young men and women who answered the call. To those who haven't served, I say YOU missed the chance of a lifetime to be a part of something great... When our fellow citizens needed us the most, we were there. The caring, determination and sharing we had by serving our Country has been seen by Americans... That is what America is all about, those who serve America when we are needed. America remembers, Veterans, remember, Families remember, the World remembers what none of us who have served America have even forgotten... Let's remember WHY we celebrate Memorial Day because so many have forgotten the REAL reason... We are not Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives or Liberals on Memorial Day. We are all Americans honoring those who did not return home to be able to celebrate with us... So we celebrate and honor those who died protecting our great Country, the United States of America... Please be careful, drive and play safe and here's hoping that have a great Memorial Day wherever you are... Let's also not forget those who protect and serve us each and every day in our civilian sector. Our EMS, Firefighters and Police who do a very difficult job everyday... They, just like our Military Men and Women scattered around the World, keep all of 'us' free and safe too... When you go out this Memorial Day and your path crosses one of those who I've just mentioned, walk up to them and say "THANK YOU"... Just watch their faces light up and look for the smile, because you've just made 'their' day... For Now, That's Just 'OUR' Opinion...
