Memorial Day
I wanted to write a long a speech today, but I always feel a bit pompous when I try to be serious for too long. All I really want to say is that I have been blessed with a great life, and though some of it is from my own hard work, most of what I have now comes from the efforts of those before me, both my loved one and those I've never known. The sacrifice of our troops throughout American history has ensured and continues to ensure we have a free country where what one dreams, one can achieve. I have a debt to them I can never pay back, but I vow to do my best to try. Today, make sure to send your prayers to those who stand between their loved homes and the war's desolation. There's much more at stake then many would want to admit, and, in the least, there are our troops own lives and the lives of their family at risk. Blackfive has much more to say about a friend of his who made the ultimate sacrifice for his country and for others and caused Blackfive to start blogging in the first place. Please go read it. God bless. 12 Responses To "Memorial Day"
Couldn't agree more. Saturday, I went to the Moffett Air and Space show at Moffett Field here in Mountain View, and there must have been twenty thousand people there to see the show, watch the Thunderbirds, and find someplace here in the Bay Area where public patriotic displays aren't sneered at. I'm never ashamed to wave our flag. Never ashamed to say I was a Marine. And I'm always grateful when I think of how much has been given by service members, for no better reason than because our country needs it, and those sacrifices help keep the world safe, so that our way of life can flourish in peace and prosperity. Memorial Day, indeed. I remember. Semper Fi, -Max #1 - Posted by: Max on May 31, 2004 01:17 PMGod bless them, every one. #2 - Posted by: Joey D on May 31, 2004 01:20 PMYou're a good man, Frank. If you have the time read this Bill Clinton Book Spoof? I've lost a great many friends and associates in combat, and I'll just bet that none would have regrets about their sacrifices. God bless their souls, and we'll meet again in the great fields of Corps Heaven. To fallen comrades... #5 - Posted by: BearHunter on May 31, 2004 03:15 PMHear hear, Frank. Hear hear. #7 - Posted by: Kya on May 31, 2004 08:26 PMVery well said Frank. My brother just left today to be shipped out to airforce basic training. Your message is a good one. #8 - Posted by: Viking Lord on May 31, 2004 09:02 PMHere in Washington DC, they did the WWII memorial dedication this weekend, and there were so many vets and I just wanted to shake all of their hands and thank them. The two most moving things I saw was when people would take pictures with them and the vets, and then when one of the Vietnam vets there for Rolling Thunder actually stopped his bike and saluted one of the WWII vets and thanked him for his service. Anyways, if any of you get a chance, go visit the WWII memorial in DC. It's so great, and it's about time we honored those that saved the entire world. #9 - Posted by: Brian on May 31, 2004 09:33 PMMuch appreciated... and may the wimpy, pinko, spineless, cowardly, piss-ant, dishonorable, doom-saying, liberal reporters who seem to abound and follow disaster like vultures catch a round in lace of those who actually help theri fellow man, like the fallen Major Schram. My CO is great, but men who go to the lengths of the Major are rare indeed. #10 - Posted by: CommieBastard on May 31, 2004 10:08 PM--Thanks for being such a good American, Frank... the main reason so many of us come here (besides the side-splitting humor, of course) is because we know what kind of person you are. -- Semper Fidelis to all of our heroes, living and dead. --Long live our President and God Bless this great country! #11 - Posted by: Devil_Dog on May 31, 2004 11:53 PM544 How can this all be right?
