Stopped by the Veterans Memorial Park today, here in Las Cruces, to pay my respects...
you're a good man, Larry. Thank you.

SALUTE!!!

Today I will spend a few minutes thinking about my brothers and sisters in arms, the ones who never made it back, and the ones who may have made it home but continue to be haunted and hunted by the ghosts they created and have lost their lives in other ways. Today isn't about me, it's about the patriots who sacrificed to give us the freedom to celebrate this day, and our way of life. Until Valhalla, Warriors. Your legends are forever.

“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it” —Mark Twain
“And I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free. And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me” — Country singer Lee Greenwood
"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God such men lived" - George S Patton
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty" - John F. Kennedy, 1961
"It doesn’t take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle - General Norman Schwarzkopf JrThank you to all who have or will serve this great country and God bless to those who have had a family member serve and sacrificed for all of us

I still mourn... mainly for the families (but I do miss my friends who've made the greatest sacrifice).
So, I decided to head out this morning for a long ride down to the lake and reflect (alone). Remembered the good times and then crying for them ~> Sure that may be wrong and/or foolish, but I don't care... I feel better for having done it. Which is something I'm sure they'd want.

I'm sure they would, but I think (if I may) that something they'd want more is that you share with the younger generations the importance of good citizenship, self-sacrifice, and love for our way of life. Our freedoms aren't free, and maintaining them isn't easy. Our way of life demands hard thinking and hard decisions, and the courage to stand behind them. That's what I think they would want, to know that they didn't die in vain.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
Ronald Reagan
40th president of US (1911 - 2004) -
