"1/2 of the people in this world who know you, will LOVE you.  

The other half that don't love you, well.................that is THEIR loss"

Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. ... Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971.

As I was growing up, my father woke up every Memorial Day before the sun came out!  I did not know why he was gone, and did not understand the weight of it until I was married for many years. Dad woke up early in order to go to the V.F.W. ,  join his comrades, and go to the cemetery to honor the fallen soldiers. He was truly grateful to them for their service and grateful to serve  this great country of ours as well.  He was no stranger to war.  Dad served in WWII and Korea in the Navy and the Merchant Marines. Dad, did I ever say THANK YOU  for YOUR service?  I want to thank you, Norm and ALL of the soldiers  who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Living or deceased, ALL of these great men who served are so deserving of our genuine gratitude. Think of them when you celebrate today! It is because of them that we are free!
