Memorial Day 2012 - A Time to Remember

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Dallas Suburbs TX Broker 0513551

Memorial Day 2012As a retired military combat veteran, Memorial Day holds a very special meaning for me. It’s a time to reflect back and honor those who not only served, but made the ultimate sacrifice for this nation and her people.

Many people have tried to capture the essence of it. Few accomplished it. Billy Ray Cyrus’ song titled, “Some Gave All” is one of them:

All gave some and some gave all And some stood through for the red, white and blue And some had to fall And if you ever think of me Think of all your liberties and recall Some gave all

What non-veterans cannot comprehend is the guilt felt by many of those who make it home. Jamey Garner’s song titled, “That’s What Soldiers Do” showed remarkable insight :

Those emotional wounds run deep and those veterans returning home need our support more than ever.

Freedom is not free. We enjoy our liberties because brave men and women have always been willing to put everything on the line in order to insure them.

If you love America and our way of life, thank a veteran. Their blood has been shed preserving the liberty that we enjoy and many take for granted.

I am an Iraq Vet and I had not heard this song before!  Love it!  Thank you for sharing this and thank you for your service too!  Memorial Day is a hard day, but honoring and thanking the men and woman of our armed forces is the least we can do.
