Amen to all mentioned!  And a special remembrance to the families who lost loved ones in the defense of our country that so many take for granted. Have a blessed day and stay safe!

Memorial Day is an honored day for me an my whole family.  I had an uncle I never met that died in the Battle of the Bulge.  He was the only one of the 4 brothers (my dad included) that didn't make it home from WWII.  Many of us have been to Lorraine, France to visit his grave.  When you get there and see it you realize just how many died serving our country and protecting the whole world from tyranny on just that battlefront.  Memorial Day is a bit somber for us, and Veterans Day is a little brighter for those that served and continue to serve that return home.  Next is an excerpt taken from the Lorraine American Cemetery web page.

The Lorraine American Cemetery and Memorial in France covers 113.5 acres and contains the largest number of graves of our military dead of World War II in Europe, a total of 10,481. Their headstones are arranged in nine plots in a generally elliptical design extending over the beautiful rolling terrain of eastern Lorraine and culminating in a prominent overlook feature. Most of the dead here were killed while driving the German forces from the fortress city of Metz, France toward the Siegfried Line and the Rhine River. Initially, there were over 16,000 Americans interred in the St. Avold region in France, mostly from the U.S. Seventh Army's Infantry and Armored Divisions and its cavalry groups. St. Avold served as a vital communications center for the vast network of enemy defenses guarding the western border of the Third Reich.

Sadly, this is but one cemetery where our American dead who died in service have been placed.  All those serving in the military but dead and living deserve to be honored mightily.  It makes me feel really good to see people clap for servicemen and women that board planes I'm on.
