geeviam Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Yes, please remember. And, teach your children. We are not entitled to happiness. We are entitled to THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. Brave souls gave their precious lives for us to have the freedom to pursue it. Have a great Memorial Day everyone! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coto Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 That's right, it's not about burgers, hot dogs, and beaches. It's about brave Americans that gave their all for this great nation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCFD rtrd. Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 My fear is that we have strayed to far from the real meaning of Memorial Day. God bless those that gave it all and lets teach the younger generation to appreciate our Vets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason p Posted May 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Don’t fret Dino, I served with many millennials, and unfortunately went to memorials for a few, up until I retired in 2015, there’s many, many good ones. When I joined in ‘92 the Vietnam guys said the “place was gonna go to hell“ with us (my generation) in charge. I’m sure the Korea guys said the same about them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason you never hear from the responsible, respectable hard-chargers is that well... they’re hard-charging. They’re not in front of a news camera on the corner of some event or spending all day on Twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Amen. These men and women died to protect the very rights that are under threat once again. So many are willing to give up those hard earned rights to avoid the a virus with less than a 1% death rate. The death rate of being on the front lines was much much higher, and these brave men and women stood their ground. Seems to me that the best way to honor tbeir sacrifice is to make at least a small version of it ourselves and stand up to those who thinks our rights can be revoked if sufficient fear is injected into the system . . .

quest4reds Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 This topic was definitely needed, and I agree it needs to be taught in schools. I don't think this is the only thing however, look at all the Memorial day sales and advertisements, they don't show a picture of CPL Ryan McGhee KIA 13 MAY 2009 and ask for him to be remembered during their 3% off sale, they don't hang pictures of the fallen all around the store. Unfortunately for far too many, it has become a day off of work, and a day for all the crazies and twice a year boaters to go the boat ramp. I still had people this past Monday say Happy Memorial day to me. I think my response may have been a bit short but I quickly told them, Memorial day is not for me it's to remember the fallen, thank me on Veteran's day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
