..HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY..

Today,

Let's not forget those who died in combat,

Those who gave their lives for the price of freedom.

Let's remember their great lives,

Their ultimate sacrifice,

Their commitment,

So that we could enjoy our freedom.

Honor them,

Remember them.

Spare some time today to pray for the families and friends

of the fallen heroes.

They lost their loved ones,

so that we could have ours by our side.

Think and Thank a veteran

and those who are still serving in the Armed Forces,

Not just today,

but

EVERYDAY!

Have a great Memorial Day Everyone.

These are some great books to buy and read today. I highly recommend these books because I have read them and I could not put them down.

Their courageous story, love for their country, loyalty, commitment and the ultimate sacrifices must be known and remembered.

NEVER FORGET

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. Service Members who died while in the military service. Today is the day!

As many Americans celebrate today with BBQ and run by the beach or getting some tanned by the pool. There are mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters who mourned for the lost of their family member. There are wife, husband and children who are paying the price of losing their loved one, for our freedom. As the old saying, "Freedom is not free." Indeed! But, not everyone understand the pain of losing someone to a war.

I am a military brat and am proud of it. Growing up in a Military family makes me understand the meaning of sacrifice, scar of war and the price we have to pay. Married to a military man, makes me experience it to a whole different level. I am a part of that, daily!

So, today, as you enjoy your day off and grilling those yummy BBQ. Thank a Veteran today, thank their family. Remember the fallen heroes and honor them. Pray for the family who lost their loved one in a war, past and present. Pray for those who served and are serving in the US Armed Forces. Their sacrifice is more than you could ever imagine or understand, unless you are in their shoes (or in their family's).

There was a moment when he was just born,

and you cried with happiness.

There was a moment when he was drawing an airplane and said "I want to be a pilot,"

and you smiled.

There was a moment when he decided to join the Armed Forces

and you were crying with pride.

There was a moment when you opened the door

and there were officers with uniform standing there to informed you that..

he died fighting for your freedom,

And you are crying endlessly!

We feel your pain and we are praying for you. Your son, daughter, brother, sister, husband, wife, father, mother are not forgotten. You are not forgotten too, family!

May God give them comfort and love as we, as a nation, celebrate today as a "Memorial Day" and they remember the memories they had with their loved ones.
