Very true. Thank you to all of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for this great country and thank you to all who have served or are currently serving.
RIPJust the perspective from one vet:
If you’re also a vet, or a family member/friend of a fallen service member, and someone says to you “Happy Memorial Day”, I understand why that may not jive with how you’re feeling this weekend.
I tend to give most people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to this issue, and assume they are generally well intentioned.
If their words bother you, (if they do that is perfectly fine), I urge you to take the opportunity to thank them for their support but more importantly, graciously educate them on the true meaning behind Memorial Day.
Beyond that, honor the fallen by living a life worthy of their sacrifice.
Thank you to all my brothers and sisters in arms who gave all.
RIP Russ.

Are you talking about our allies in Iraq & Afghanistan? That was a cool quote. I can’t remember where I saw that, but it was cool to hear. I think 1 person said they always wanted to bring an American because they knew the calvary would come. I think the other one I heard described the difference when you call in a QRF. Other countries would ask questions. The Americans would say hold tight, we’re on our way. Merica.A question was asked of a country under siege who would you want to come over the hill to save you was the only answer, there’s only one and no other beside her.
Thank you all for defending her
