It's been a good day of grilling, visiting nearby compounds, eating delicious ribs, telling Army tales for the benefit of the Cadet, and castigating the left for the comsymp shill dupes of the Illuminati globalist elite that they are.
To say nothing of remembering and praying for the fallen. I'd say this Proclamation puts it well:
"Whether on the battlefields of Bunker Hill, on the beaches of Normandy, in the jungles of Vietnam, or in the mountains and deserts of the Middle East, brave Americans of every generation have given their last full measure of devotion in defense of our country, our liberty, and our founding ideals. On Memorial Day, we humbly honor these incredible patriots and firmly renew our abiding commitment to uphold the principles for which they laid down their lives.
"As a free people, we have a sacred duty to remember the courageous warriors who have made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that our great country would endure. It is our responsibility to strive to ensure that their noble acts of dedication to our country and the cause of freedom were not in vain and to comfort the families they have left behind, who bear the heartbreak of their loss.
"We must ensure that the light of our Republic, and all for which these most honorable Americans willingly died, continues to shine forth brightly into the world. As President Lincoln said in 1863 during the dedication of the Gettysburg National Military Cemetery: 'It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.'"
May they rest in peace.
God bless,
LSP

ReplyDeleteYou do have a way worth words.
WSF, I try. Mind you, easy target.
DeleteWell said, LSP!
ReplyDeleteYou'd have enjoyed the day, Jules. Beautiful compound grillout!
ReplyDeleteIt snowed at the White Wolf Mine on Memorial Day. All the events that I might have undertaken had a wet and snowy blanket thrown on them. I didn't want to pay fry a really nice porterhouse, so I made tacos, in honor of our war with Mexico and conquest of Mexico City. Halls of Montezuma and all that.
ReplyDeleteTHE very best 'thing' I've seen about Memorial Day is this "Be an American that warriors are willing to die for" Hell Yea.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing we can do for them is be Americans worth fighting for.
ReplyDeleteLL, you've become a SNOW WOLF!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the tacos, patriotic.
Well said, Kid. I 2nd that.
