Memorial Day - Your thoughts

UPDATE:
We created a Memorial Day group for those wanting to honor men and women who have given their life serving in the US military. Post your comments and images - Memorial Day Group

Memorial Day is this Monday. While many will celebrate the weekend with hot dogs and cookouts, we need to remember that Memorial Day is a holiday in which we remember those in the military who have given their life for our country.

TCUnation salutes all those who have given their life, served and are serving in the United States military.

About Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (May 25 in 2009). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. EOTB. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the civil war), it was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action.

- C W Johnson
We walked among the crosses
Where our fallen soldiers lay.
And listened to the bugle
As TAPS began to play.
The Chaplin led a prayer
We stood with heads bowed low.
And I thought of fallen comrades
I had known so long ago.
They came from every city
Across this fertile land.
That we might live in freedom.
They lie here 'neath the sand.
I felt a little guilty
My sacrifice was small.
I only lost a little time
But these men lost their all.
Now the services are over
For this Memorial Day.
To the names upon these crosses
I just want to say,
Thanks for what you've given
No one could ask for more.
May you rest with God in heaven
From now through evermore.

Comment by Wiccanwolf on May 22, 2009 at 2:53pm: Each day is Memorial Day for me. As a veteran I say a prayer each day for those who have passed on and for protection of those who are serving.
