A day to honor those servicemen and women who gave their life in the service of their country

[PotimusWillie]

May we take a step back to recognize the sacrifice of life in the honor of duty.

May we, at all times and in all decisions, remember that sacrifice as we act and respond as citizens.

May the honor and valor of those lives be remembered and taught to each generation.

archives.org lists all servicemen and women who were casualties of war. You should visit the site.

It would be cool if we we went to to site and just randomly chose a name to verbalize , to say the soldiers name, to have the name spoken one more time, maybe for the last time. To allow that name to exist again.

I chose a Sergeant from Gwinnett county named Roger D. Orr. He is remembered today. It is the least I can do.

May we all take a min to think about them.

No casualties, thank God, but my Dad, brother and two uncles all served. I honor that service.

i usually agree with all your takes to include the one abut honoring a fallen soldier but don’t you think the first part of honoring the individual is getting his rank right?

I just returned from my American Legion Memorial Day Ceremony. We had to set up another row of chairs. There were many memories for fallen soldiers and good patriotic music.

I'm thinking about my mother's cousin, who was lost when his submarine was sunk off the coast of Japan in 1945.
