Memorial Day 2016
« on: May 28, 2016, 08:01:46 PM »
I'd like to wish all of you a safe Memorial Day and a safe holiday weekend.

Note that I didn't include "happy." Not that I don't want you to enjoy a holiday with your friends and family, but please take at least a few minutes to reflect on what Memorial Day is -- the one day in the year that the United States has set aside specifically to remember and to honor those who gave their lives to help keep the world free of tyranny and oppression. Not veterans -- we have our own day, later in the year. Memorial Day is for those who went to war, and who didn't make it home.





Peace.

Well said.  Thanks, Hawk.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
