Memorial Day

 The patriot's blood is the seed of Freedom's tree -  Thomas Campbell
All we have of freedom, all we use or know, this our fathers bought for us long and long ago - Rudyard Kipling

Happy Memorial Day.  As we celebrate and grill, swim, and hang out - let's remember........

    As I've mentioned on a few other blogs A few years ago I was in the US. on Memorial Day, We were taken to Washington DC then on to Arlington Cemetary, The view there was awesome and one felt very humbled.
    Enjoy your day Joanne.
    Yvonne.

    Hi Joanne - we definitely need to remember and your Memorial Day comes at a time that we are building up to summer fun - so it's good to remember now and for us to commemorate our lost souls in November on Remembrance Day. We are so fortunate to be free ... Cheers Hilary

    I hope you and Ray enjoyed a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. I may forget a lot of things, but the meaning of Memorial Day isn't one of them.

      Thanks. Yep. Those who served must be honored, especially those who sacrificed their lives.
