Memorial Day

Don't thank us, remember those who have fallen. Thanks for the kind words though

 

Many moons ago I used to have a girlfriend that would say, "Happy Memorial Day". Used to drive me crazy...

 

I grew up in Minnesota and had never been to Fort Snelling National Cemetery until I was there for a funeral a couple years ago. I have went on both Memorial Days since then just to walk around and pay my respects as best I can. The place is so huge it will take me a long time to cover all of it. It is really an impressive place that makes you think about all of those soldiers and their ultimate sacrifice for freedom.

 

Sad Memorial Day!

 

When you think about all those who gave their lives for their country, it's a humbling feeling. But if you've ever stood at a military cemetary and seen the rows and rows and rows of markers of fallen soldiers, it's like getting punched in the solar plexus.
They're in my thoughts this weekend.

 

Somber and respectful Memorial Day

 

Thank you to the OP. Since TW has become like a weird second family to me I would like share with you some of my brothers so that we can all honor them.

Not included: SPC Byron Fouty from 10th Mountain division KIA Iraq OIF 2008.

Rest easy brothers.
