MEMORIAL DAY REMEMBRANCE

The dead soldier's silence

~Aaron Kilbourn

And I'm proud to be an American,

where at least I know I'm free.

And I won't forget the men who died,

who gave that right to me.

~Lee Greenwood

Thanks for your thoughtful post, Joey. My brother and brother-in-law were Korean war vets and I always remember their service on this special day.
