Memorial Day & National Moment of Remembrance. Honor America's fallen. They are never forgotten.

When I asked a group of school children what Memorial Day meant to them, they replied "That's the day the pools open!" Too many older Americans would have similar responses.

There can be no argument that we, as a nation, need to refresh our memories and put "memorial" back into Memorial Day.

We must never forget who we are memorializing and inform each coming generation that since the birth of our nation, more than 1 MILLION men and women have died to ensure our freedom.

Please observe the National Moment of Remembrance, established by Congress to recognize, honor and memorialize all those who have given their lives in service to our country throughout our history. They were someone's father, mother, son, daughter, sister, brother, other relative or friend. Their families are also casualties of war, for their loss is the most enduring sacrifice. Please live honoring America's fallen. As long as they are remembered they are never forgotten. Author unknown

Please participate in a "National Moment of Remembrance" at 3pm to thank those who have served and fallen for our great Country and for Taps to be played .

I went to a presentation called " A View From the Front" at MCAS Cherry Point, NC Wednesday night. I heard a 22 year old Marine tell how he was just doing his job, of being a Marine, something he had wanted to do since he was eight years old. He just returned from Iraq.

We also heard the commanding General talk about how it was when they arrived and how much better is was when they left due to the surge.

Regardless of your politics, when you hear 'Everybody fights to win" from young and old it's very compelling.

Thanks to our servicemen and women who are fighting to give the people of Iraq a choice. A choice, something Americans have fought for themselves and for others for years.

A great gift with a very high price tag, human lives and suffering.
