A Memorial Day Thought: "In all of the lands that America has sent troops to defend freedom and humanity , America has never asked for any more land than what it took to bury our dead" (Please comment if you know the author)

NOTICES: HAVE A GREAT MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY: But don't forget the meaning of this day and those who died to win and maintain freedom. Freedom isn't free and that's why this holiday was authorized by Congress, as a reminder of that fact. A day to memorialize the fallen, and to enjoy some of the freedom they have provided. At today's ball games, memorial services, parades and barbecues don't forget to pause to remember the fallen, and stand for the passing national flag or the playing of the Star Spangled banner. Here is a link to our favorite version of the national anthem. Madison Rising:
