(not so) Speechless Sunday - May We Always Remember...

Memorial Day...

On this day, I pray that I be granted the power that I may not so much seek to be consoled but to seek to console others;

not so much to be understood, but to understand others;
not so much to be loved but to love those who have lost.
For it is in their giving that we receive; And in dying they are given to eternal life...

May we always remember those who have given so we can be free...

Michael,

This is a very thought provoking post and one that we should be remembering this weekend and everyday of the year.

Happy Sunday Michael. Drizzling here this morning.

What a great reminder of why we are all here today.The men and women that have laid there life on the line so that we can live so freely! I am so thankful!

Michael - A very powerful picture and prose to accompany it

Michael...

Amen to that!

Michael,..... You choose a great picture to capture the essence of this day. May freedom reign because of their great sacrifice!

Amen, Jess

Laura, Richard, Jess and Jen, I thought that the picture was fitting for the day. Thanks for stopping by...

Michael, very nice tribute to our fallen heroes. Thank you.

Wow.

What an incredible picture. If ever there is a way for us to understand what others have done for us in the name of our freedom, it is pictures like this.

God bless all of them and their families.

Wow Michael, this is an amazing photo! Thank you for sharing!

Love the messgae, and love the way the crosses drift into the fog... as though they go on forever. Which unfortunately they do.

Michael - Wonderful photograph and it is quite sad seeing all these crosses.

Michael, I hear what you say as I sit here on a Sunday evening enjoying a cold beer along with my freedom, I am reminded of a loved one that I lost 10 years ago. I buried him in Arlington National Cemetery and I am proud to be the wife of a military man that served his country with pride. I am and will always be eternally grateful for all of our hero's that stand strong for the American way of life.
