Got this today because I'm a member of the WWII Museum in New Orleans
10 Ways to Observe Memorial Day
Real meaning of Memorial Day - Dogdaddy - 05-11-2011
Sad to say, but I can't think of one single Holiday in this country that bears any resemblance to what they meant when I was growing up...can you? Kids don't even have to recite the pledge of allegiance in school anymore, but that's not the kids fault.
MEMORIAL DAY
God Bless all you Veterans who died in combat, and never lived to raise kids or become a grandfather/mother. You were too young to vote, and too young to even take a legal drink of alcohol in the country you died defending. I promise never to forget you, both the young and the old..... for your ultimate sacrifice.

Looks like some of the images didn't transfer over when we moved the forum to the new server. Sorry about that...
Anyway, posting some other images today in honor of our fallen.

I'd like to pay my respects by posting this picture taken by me just above the beach in Licata, Sicily. It has special signifigance for me and is a fitting tribute on Memorial Day.
