Default On This Memorial Day

I present to you this post. It is dedicated to those that have served my country. It is dedicated to those that have paid the ultimate price for my family. This post is also dedicated to the loved ones of a fallen soldier, sailor, airman, marine and coast gaurdsmen. This post is dedicated to you.
Many of us have proudly severed our country. For many years, most of us served without ever being near a combat zone. I am one of those. I would never consider myself a hero, but, for those family members, that stood behind us, I salute you this day. Those that have stood by a marine, sailor, airmen, soldier or coast guardsman while we were gone for
endless months and even years. For those at home that held the family together, I salute you, you are all heroes in my eyes.

This post is dedicate to you all


Today you can go to a parade

This evening you can set by a lake as the sun sets

You can visit a memorial

All because of the sentinels that have paid the price, year after year.

The Lone Sentinel

Happy Memorial Day!

Let us never forget those heros that gave thier lives for us. The ones whose names have been lost, the ones who have never been found.
