Honor Them On Memorial Day

By
Real Estate Agent with Better Homes and Gardens Rand Realty
Take Time to Honor All Of The Men and Women Who Have Served And Those That Are Serving To Keep Us Free Right Now!

On this holiday weekend I hope we will all to take a moment to honor our military personnel.  Without their sacrifices we would not be able to enjoy this or any other weekend in the freedom that we sometimes take for granted.  As a child of the 1960's I grew up in a time of political upheaval that caused our fine young men and women who answered the call of service to return home to a country that was so against the war that the sacrifices they had made were swept away in anger and sometimes embarrassment.  We can not allow the young men and women who serve us today to feel shame for what they are doing.  Support our troops even if you can't understand or support the mission.  If not for them we would not have the right to disagree with our government.

My family will be marching in a Memorial Day Parade in Waldwick, NJ with our Civil War Reenacting Unit.  We will be honoring the men and women that have served our country throughout our grand history and those who continue to serve us today.  I urge you all to find some way to honor your local heroes during this time of remembrance.

Hurray For The USA!

When you have veterans in your family, you know the sacrifice.  But if you don't it is easy to forget all the men and women serving now and in the past around the globe.  Sacrifice.  Freedom. Good post!
