Though I am a veteran, I am not a big fan of over-the-top patriotism. I wanted to make a simple statement most Americans (anyway!) would understand without lots of flags, bald eagles, and service people in uniform. I personally find the way we “celebrate” this holiday, greet each other with a “have a happy Memorial Day, and have Memorial Day sales off-putting.
Starting at the first of your posts and working back to where I started following you was my Memorial Day meditation. I also went over to Pierre Legace’s posts (14 blogs!) for more posts on the war on the other end of the world. I can’t thank either of you enough for your dedication to putting together the stories of the people who saved the world from the terror of Fascism….
It made sense to try to read them all. When I realized it was do-able, I was glad I had the occasion (Memorial Day), the will, and time (it’s nice being retired!).
Thanks! The boys appreciated the attention, too.

* seconds to say what it all means! Very good, Weggie. [give a scratch to my little buddies]
The reading you’ve done on my site has truly gone above and beyond!! A true friend! Thank you.

Yes, it is – and no one appreciates that more than I! 😉
hubby and I both say TY.
You are welcome. No more wars.
