Memorial Day 2022.

[Axxe55]

A lot of people think Memorial day is the unofficial beginning of summer, or just another federal holiday for BBQing and spending the day hanging out drinking beer.

People really need to understand that it's a day of remembrance and reflecting upon those that gave the greatest sacrifice of all in service of our country.

It's easy to get wrapped up in all the troubles our country is facing, and forget, that this is still the greatest country in the world. And men and women died to defend that, and our rights and freedom.

Enjoy the day, but just remember what it's really all about.

God bless those brave souls.

To the fallen American Troops & our allies, I'll put some Kahlua in my coffee and toast y'all.

Ask my wifes nephew what's he cooked for Memorial Day and you will be schooled pretty quick of the meaning.

We salute the men and women who served and are serving now! My father was in WWII and received the purple heart. My step-father served in Korea and became a citizen, he was from England. Father -in-law was a nose gunner on B-24 during WWII in England.

Missing man formation flew over the house about 8:30 this morning.
Set the tone for my day.

Lots of sons and husbands marched off and never came back.

Just for us. U.S.

Excellent post @Axxe55 and thank you for bringing it up.
Many of us take our freedom for granted and the lives that it took for us to be free.
