    As the daughter of a WWII veteran, I too am thankful.

    Gratitude also to the vets within our little community here.

    Today we Remember.
    Those that were lost,
    And those that have lost a part of themselves.
    War is not supported,
    But those who have sacrificed are.
    On this Day of Remembrance.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    This day makes me cry every year. Some tears of sadness, between the last two wars, and Bosnia, I have lost six members of my family. Yet the rest still proudly serve. There are members of my family in all four branches of service and one just joined the Calvary! So now five.

    Thank you all whom put your lives on the line so that we may live freely( sorta) ! May those who serve never fall, may those who've fallen's service never be forgotten!!

    At our school's remembrance day assembly, we had a veteran who was on the beaches of Normandy.

    The students and teachers, upon having him introduced (with his wife), were awestruck. The director pointed him out in the crowd.. everybody turned to gaze with respectful admiration... and as his bio was detailed... kids and adults couldn't have shown more adulation if they tried.

    He received a generous applause and the old timer was emotionally moved. It was touching to say the least.

    Thank you to all service members!
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Ring the bells that still can ring
    Forget your perfect offering
    There is a crack in everything
    That's how the light gets in.

    Almost like a child that is given everything and has never had to earn privileges..They will never understand the stuggle...we can only try to appreciate our freedoms

    God bless those who protect us

    Thank you for your service and dedication. I posted this in another thread, but it belongs here, too.

    My dad fought in WWII. He was in the Pacific prepping for the invasion of Japan when they dropped the bombs.

    This is long, but it's part of a letter from my dad to his mom, dated April 27, 1945. He's in Manila.
    "The trip to the city was enlightening in as much as it gave me a first hand picture of the destruction wrought thru total war. You’ll never have the real picture until you’re actually in the midst of it. It’s a god damn mess that hurts and then makes you mad. Try to picture the block of the Schenley Apartments [where his family lived in Pittsburgh] multiplied by several more blocks just like it, a mass of shattered rubble. Sections blasted completely away, others just shells with gaping holes, while in the midst just for incongruity a small Spanish styled residence, walled in and entered thru a wrought iron gate that opens into a lovely patio garden full of luxuriant growth and the usual naked babies which would have been squirting water if the city water system had been running, scattered thru it. All of this was untouched except for one hole in the wall. To the right as you entered was the resident itself while on the other side of the patio were the stables. One of our platoon CPs was housed there – the EM [enlisted men?] quartered in the stalls – tiled with oaken, hand carved swinging doors, while the officers were upstairs in the servants’ quarters – tiled, fresh toilet, etc. The servants’ kitchen served as a message center and switchboard set up. God makes us thankful for little things."

    Happy Veterns Day......Thanks for all you have done!!
    Listening to the London Ontaio radio station fm 96 and they doing a call in request song for soldiers at the drive home at 5 and to close out the show they played the cover of Fortunate Son by Pearl Jam. Know I didn't hear anybody request it, I think the DJ just played it :)

    E, so descriptive, especially the barely-affected home.

    Glad for all who made it home as safely as possible, and an extra thanks to, honor for, those who didn't.

    This happened a few months ago but I read about it only earlier today. Very sweet.
