Our prayers for all those families who haven't had closure for their service members.
So many thanks for all those who served, and for those who gave all! GG

While many will wrongly honor all veterans lets remember the true reason for this day.
Its a small price to pay to give a few years of your life for our freedoms. It is a totally different thing to give your entire adult life defending these freedoms.
God bless those that gave all. May you RIP knowing we appreciate everything you did for us still here.

I had the privilege of meeting the four vets that are staying in our rental home yesterday. They hadn't been together in many years. They did their basic training at Fort Hood, then were shipped to Iraq. Our tenant was in a military vehicle when it was hit by IED. He was the only one who survived out of six.
Service to our country deserves more respect than most vets get. Today and tomorrow, pray for the ones who didn't come home and thank the ones who gave part of their lives for us.

Ours....
We have two flag poles--this one is at our pond.
The Wife had her family reunion out to the pond last year and we dedicated the flag pole to her brother-a Navy veteran who gave his life at his job trying to save a fellow co-worker who went into a railroad tank car not knowing what was the previous load was...

The Lord must have seen fit that I didn't lose any family in military service.
Have heard some horror stories from uncles who served in WWII, one who refused to talk about it!
But going to some of the Civil War battle grounds, seeing the acres of headstones, seeing lists of names, gives only a small perspective of just how many gave their lives.
God rest their souls.

We will be at the local cemetery at 0845 tomorrow for the VFW Honor Guard. They visit each of our seven small cemeteries and honor one vet .

Inspired by a war-scarred field of bright red poppies that he saw in the spring of 1915, Canadian Soldier Lt. Col. John McCrae wrote the powerful poem In Flanders Fields. With fewer than 100 words, McCrae honored the lives lost in World War I and spurred a timeless movement of using the poppy as a symbol of remembrance within the military community.
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

We just have one that attaches to a support post and is easy to take down at night. Its not fancy but still makes the right statement. I used to enjoy marching in Memorial Day parades with the boy scouts when I was scout master until several towns stopped having parades for several years. There was some group that was threatening to sue if they couldn't be included and you can figure out how that works.
