Commemorating Memorial Day

Not in Canada, although I pray for them regularly.

Isn't that a hoot that the ONLY person who answered that post is Canadian? Where's your Patriotism, USA-ers??? Hugs to Katherine, raspberries to 'others', LOL! Noreen

Noreen,

We are in Atoka TN, at my sister's. Been here for the last 4 days. We went to the National Cemetary in Memphis with the local Legion. I was a very nice service. When we went to the area where the young poeple are now there was not a dry eye in the crowd.

I hope every one did something.

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

LOL Maybe they were all "doing things" for Memorial Day.

Higs, Katherine

Now now Noreen, first of all raspberries are delicious so go ahead....LOL, maybe most of your country men were celebrating the day, and had no time to answer you, always think the best of others.....

I think however, that most of us, when we hear and read about the fallen soldiers, no matter what war it is,or was, do remember, it affects us all. We all remember in our own private ways. Some of us out loud and some of us privately.

Hope you had a great day

You are so right Els. My son served two tours a few years ago overflying Boznia and I was a mess the whole time he was gone. Thank heavens he doesn't have to go to Afghanistan. There's a hopeless cause.

Thanks for your lovely comments, Els. It makes me all the more eager to meet you in person. I'm probably one of the few who wasn't out celebrating yesterday; unless I have to go out on a day as hot as it was, I stay inside.

Shelagh, I can imagine that that must have been a difficult time. I think that there are quite a few mothers here in this group with children and husbands in the militairy. Though times for sure.

Thank you Jan, what a nice thing to say
