Lest We Forget!



To those who served and those who waited, to those who support them and those who gave all, may God bless you each and every day.

....fair winds and a following sea brothers...

Salute!


Before you grill, or play, take a moment to remember!



A prayer before 18 holes!



So they would not have sacrificed in vain!


Teach your children of their sacrifice!


And of the real price of Freedom!


Sorry Simon, but these are the Real American Idols!



It is the VETERAN,
Not the preacher,
Who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the VETERAN,
Not the reporter,
Who has given us freedom of the press.



It is the VETERAN,
Not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the VETERAN,
Not the campus organizer,
Who has given us freedom to assemble.

It is the VETERAN,
Not the lawyer,
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the VETERAN,
Not the politician,
Who has given us the right to vote.

It is the VETERAN
Who Salutes the Flag,

It is the VETERAN
Who serves Under the Flag,

At Arlington National Cemetery there is the Tomb of the Unknowns.  Remains of soldiers known only to G-d, who lie in a marble sarcophagus. In front of which the men and women of the 3rd U.S. Infantry, traditionally known as "The Old Guard," maintains a 24-hour vigil at the Tomb of the Unknowns.

This is their Changing Of The Guard:



Arlington National Cemetery is considered the nation's most sacred ground!

Have a safe Memorial Day!
