Let's all remember what this Holiday Weekend is all about. Take time to remember those who went before us and have given us the lives we now lead. CSPAN will have special programming today and tomorrow and I'm sure the networks and cable stations will as well. Most towns will have parades as well.



Let's see those flags.



Damn right. Its about time the crafts.textiles.yarn crowd started showing some f'ing patriotism.

Um - which country do you represent? ::ducks and runs::

Someone obviously thinks their country is the only one in existence. Here in the UK we are celebrating the Spring Bank Holiday but we're not all dressed like Druids and leaping around Stonehenge! ;-P

Thank you Annie, I hope your day is great! Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

I never forget and sometimes I'd like to forget.

Oh but that I would like to see

Lol Donna and that's because you're naughty! ;-)

F*CK The flags. Hang black bunting to remember those who gave their lives in real wars.

This day isn't about our nation as a whole. It is about all those men and women who regardless of their point of view and/or freedom to with regard to serving their country during war, military conflict or a global police action.

How did this appear in six point text?

Along with Service Banners.

Ok, I've "shushed". ;-)

Here is a page listing the UK holidays for this year - it is really on May 1st that some individuals do odd things in the countryside. I still find the weather a little chilly at that time of year for sun worshipping!

ROBES??? Druid festivals were in-the-nude as far as *I* know/knew/thought!!

Noreen

LOL, you wish Noreen - that's the Hollywood version.

Nobody knows what happened to Druids after the Romans destroyed their Druid's "college" on the Isle of Anglesey. Modern day Druids are a very moral lot! See
