GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Well, tomorrow is Memorial and despite the horrendous gas prices -- it hit $4.189 per gallon here today -- I'd still rather be living here in our good old USA than anywhere else. To all those who gripe about our gas prices, taxes, politics, etc. I say, if you don't speak up to your Congressmen, if you continue to re-elect the same ones election after election, don't complain about the fact that you get the same results. Can you say "term limits"?
But that discussion is for another day. Today, I want to wish all of you a very happy Memorial Day holiday. In the midst of camping, picnics, boating, or just relaxing on the extra day off from work, please take a moment somewhere to say a quiet thank you to the men and women in our Armed Forces who have sacrificed so much on our behalf.
I read on the CNN site that approximately a thousand veterans die each day and many of them are buried in National Cemeteries. It's a small token the nation gives back to those men and women for putting their love of country before every thing. When I drive past the local veteran's cemetery, the rows of white crosses remind me of that sacrifice. Today, small American flags flutter at each grave, planted by the Boy Scouts troops this past week in honor and remembrance.
God bless America. And God bless our servicemen and women.
