Journal Entry 052812-C: Memorial Day 2012!

Friend's,

I hope regardless of what you were involved in for the Memorial Day Holiday be it work, play or rest you had the time to give our veterans a moment of your thoughts!

This Country has called on it's Citizen's to Serve it's defense so many times over the last 236 year's since we declared our Independence from The King; not the friend's, allies and blood ties so many of us share in some way with The British Empire!

Millions have died in defense of Freedom and Millions have come home after the defense of our Freedom's injured physically and scarred in one way or another; some alot more and some a little less as stated in the defense of Freedom our Countries Interest and the Defense of our friend's and Allies!

I certainly don't claim to be a great or even average writer but I do appreciate what our Veterans- Living, Deceased or Living with physical injuries and the memories of the terrible events they experienced, witnessed or otherwise were involved in to "defend" us as ordinary Citizen's or in defense of the Citizen's of other Lands and Seas!

Once upon a time our men and women came home to a country wrought with descent regarding their mission and many were treated as less than the "hero's they were and still are even to this day!

I hope you could agree with that comment and let's work to insure that situation never occurs again and regardless of your political leanings I hope you agree we as a Nation and partnership of Allies should always "defend the citizen's" of any Land that wants "Freedom" for it's People and Democracy or Government by all the people equally!

I guess that is my Memorial Day post with one last comment regardless of the situation may never again as long as The United States of America exists shall we take up arms against each other!

I have my Southern Heritage but I am a Citizen of The United States of America first and foremost and hope you share my feeling our system shall always straighten itself out as long as we as individuals participate and stay active in protecting the rights of individual "Freedom" under a system of government that insures law and order through fair and humane treatment of our Citizen's and take care of our Veteran's!

As well as pay homage to their service!

God bless, Peace, Love and Knowledge!
