Memorial Day is for remembering the sacrifices of those who have gone before us so that we might continue to enjoy Freedom. Read about the adventures of one manly American during World War I from the hot sands along the Rio Grande to the cold mud along the Meuse.

Um, I might be wrong, but in the picture, those don’t look like US troops drilling. The uniforms and especially the leggings look more like, well …. the axis Italians or such-like. Can’t clearly make-out the make of the rifle. This ‘ol Sgt’s eyes aren’t what they once were.

thank you to all of our veterans, especially my Dad, and thank you to those who serve today and to those who will serve tomorrow.

last year i got a chance to participate in a poolee function with the marines,
man,you can see how much they care about each other and know that everyone of them made a sacrifice to become a marine.i enjoyed listening to their stories there was this one marine who i met while walking home,he was telling me a lot about his time in the marines,and how much the military changed his life.

My grandfather was a prisoner of war in Burma, in one of the forced labour camps building the Burmese railroad. He still has nightmares, and has felt the effects of his internment his entire life. I think — and my grandad agrees — part of recognising the sacrifices our military veterans made is working to ensure that no other generation has to go through the same thing.

Thank you, veterans and service people, for all you’ve given up to keep our world from being embroiled in chaos. I hope we can help make the world you are fighting for.
