+Erik 1,805 Posted May 28, 2017 I'm so terribly tarnished in my old age. I hear the younger generation talk about a day of honor as a long weekend, games, parties, and hot dogs that I literally have to walk away before I commit a crime. Men not much older than these entitled bastards gave their lives knowing the fight they gave that day provided a better life for younger generations. I will not celebrate a day like Memorial Day. I will observe it with dignity and respect for all those who were brave enough to stand and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. *a moment of silence* THANK YOU! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skyviper 1,101 Posted May 28, 2017 I'm working on a small surprise for CombatACE. I think some of you will really like it. It's an article by the way. But a cool one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Typhoid 231 Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) I'm represented the city and county at a Memorial Day Ceremony and reading a proclamation. An annual event honoring the fallen from the US and Canada, our MIA's, with all the somber ceremonies that are appropriate.

Heck 496 Posted May 29, 2017 I have to work the entire weekend, but I'm going to see Dad and Mom, where they're laid to rest. Both were vets. I ignore the party weekend, and keep the spirit in my heart. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
