Memorial Day


Memorial Day, originally uploaded by MadDog78.

Memorial day seems to be a holiday that people no longer celebrate. We have men and women who have made the ulitmate sacrifice for our liberty and protection and yet, my fellow citizens don't seem to care. We have men like the one in the photo above, who came to the ceremony in Dublin in a wheel chair, and yet, was able to rise to hear taps played and to listen to our national anthem. We've lost over 2,000 men and women in the war in Iraq. Will they be remembered for their sacrifice? Why have people forgotten to honor our fellow citizens for their courage and deeds?
