Re: Off Topic but \"Happy Memorial Day\"

Nice to see this. Most of the young don't understand the sacrifices paid by our veterans for what we have. I live on the edge of a small patriotic community. It was that way long before 9-11.. 9-11 just made it stronger. I hated to see the coverage and suffering because of that day but it definately opened some eyes of our youth. Maybe now some can understand what a military is all about.. I hope they really understand it. Fredom is not free!!!

Things sure have changed but then it all comes around. History repeats. Honor those who fought for it.

Visited the area grave sites today... Four of us placed flags on all the veterans graves. We had a couple young fellows help this year from the local scout troop. That makes me feel good.

County gov provides them.... We, as a Legion Post, find the volunteers to place them......

The flags are a little smaller this year. The County Service Officer said they are hard to get. Assumed because of 9-11.

Glad to hear that since folks are painting this land in Red White and Blue this year.. I am sure China is getting rich over this.... That part is sad............ But if our folks don't want to make the colors somebody has to.
