A Memorable Memorial Day

[CaptainMike]

A sacred place of honor.

You have my vote for a mustard one!

[Max Good]

Yes. We haven't come up with a new one for some time.

Hey Max, ever thought about a mustard-based addition to the line-up?

My wife and I visited Gettysburg a few years ago. Here's just a few of the pictures we took in the cemetery.

One of our volunteer firefighters was a WWII vet and POW of the Japanese. He was captured in the Philippines at the beginning of the war and lost many comrades during his time in captivity. He volunteered at the High School metal shop and they struck a bunch of VFW medallion flag holders for every veteran at our cemetery. It was an honor for us at the FD to place flags for each of those vets, and when Morey died he got one too. I miss him, and many others, to this day.

Nice!!!

When I was a scout leader, every year on Memorial Day we put flags on all of the graves at the Chattanooga National Cemetery. One of the highlights of the year.

A friend sent this today. A picture in one word. This one is called Honor. Could just as easily be Sacrifice.

Thanks for the reminder - May we all have a thoughtful Memorial Day as we consume BBQ. This is food for thought.

[CaptainMike]

Nor safe.

A good reminder to all that freedom isn't free. Thanks for posting..
