Something to thing about.

This might be something to think about this weekend.

 

Support Our Troops

That brings Memorial Day into perspective.

From 1776 to 2006, God bless those who have fallen to protect the freedoms we all share.

I second that, thank you.

[Feathers268]

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

 

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

 

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

No one in this great country follows this more than our soldiers !

Thank you for the reminder. This weekend is not all about the start of summer. It is mostly about honoring the men and women who have given so much to make this country great.  Fly those flags high, folks.

So will ours. We will also be engaging in the same thing I've been involed with now for many years.

A THUNDEROUS CELEBRATION OF SMOKE, COLOR, AND FIRE!

Being a patriot and a pyro! God I love it!
