remembering

    Tomorrow is Memorial Day a day that we should remember. We need to remember these days remember those that fought and died.And remember those still living , and those that fight still. We need to remember why they fought and died. America is a great place to grow up in and live in. With so many things happening in the world today life in general can be very scary at times. My father God rest his soul was at Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941 he went after that to the Aleutians and after that coral seas in between times he helped very then president Roosevelt to the multicolumn prints on the Iowa for which he was given a commendation for. Sixth of June 1944 he was in charge of analysis T, a landing craft, that ferried men to their possible deaths on the beaches of Normandy he told me about that day one day one time and then he realized what he'd done what he said and he never spoke or ever again to me. I can only imagine the pain that survivors feel I can only imagine the terror that takes over a man's heart during something like that. I will never forget what he fought for to give me, I hope my grandson will remember his great grandfather that way. There are those here in the United States who only think of Memorial Day as another holiday something to go out and celebrated the barbecue trips to the beach to the casinos let's spend money. They are not Americans and even though they may have children that have been born here because of their beliefs and their culture they will never know but they will reap the benefits of those that do. I feel sorry for them because they cannot truly honestly ever become an American that's a sad thing of very sad thing. We have fallen that's who have no place else to go but the streets they're not following us in battle but the battles inside, and every day we passed them and never see them. We have those in wheelchairs and hospitals broken and battered bodies broken and battered minds, and most days we would like them to stay where they're at so that we don't have to see them. But I will never forget this day Memorial Day. Nor will I ever forget those key for me and my family the chance to live in life as free people. Free to do what we want free to be what we want free. I sometimes do not like my country and what it's become that I will always love what it is and what it truly means. I'm an American I may have English blood nightmarish blood running through me but I'm an American. So Memorial Day from me means so much more than two others. So today I salute all the veterans living and dead and all the people that will come after to fight and die for truth. God bless those that have gone before and God bless those now.
