Memorial Day USA – link Of course the USA is not the only nation that has this type of observance for it's war dead. And I have much respect and reverence for other countries' war dead. Many of which the US had fought along side each other as allies. May they All RIP … |

Agreed I was in Canada last week – and visited their tomb of the unknown solider and watched the changing of the guards – Nicely done |

Yes, the figures need to be updated. I don't know how to do that. The US lost another RANGER in Syria yesterday. I'm afraid the numbers will never 100% accurate. But again, may they all RIP. |

It's a snapshot in time. It's the best we can do in today's world. It still serves as a necessary reminder of how easy so many of us have it, and all the many important things we tend to take for granted on a daily basis. Dan |

Nice post Legion, Seems that the older I get, the more history I read, realizing that for me Vietnam will be soon be 50 years past, that this somber holiday of respect and honor always seems more solemn. For years, every time I heard the phrase Happy Memorial Day, I always responded with "while you enjoy your picnic, cookout, trip to the beach, etc..take a moment to remember those who paid the price for it." |

I agree, too many don't know why we have Memorial Day. And it seems they really don't care … sadly … |
