Memorial Day started out after the civil war as "Decoration's Day" in Waterloo, NY. President Nixon declared it a federal holiday in 1971. This day began as a memorial to those who have fallen in defense of our Nation. It soon became a recognition for all of those who served (those who perished and survived). Although I was in the Army i've never served in any of the conflicts of my time.
I would like to take this moment to honor those who had to go away from home to proctect MY FAMILY!!!
It's takes a certain kind of soul to give life for country. Many of us wonder daily would we have the courage to do so if we were asked? I believe you would. I believe that is what make our Nation so wonderful. We as a people have always been willing to lay down everything to proctect our unalienable rights!
It would be an honor if those of you who've served would state the years you served, branch and station. This will be meant as an active rain memorial to those amoung us...Brave souls you are!!!
I for one Salute you...
