Memorial Day Remember
TODAY you do not thank a veteran.
TODAY you don't light fireworks and throw a party.
TODAY you set an extra place setting for those who can't be with us.
TODAY you set out a single red rose in a vase with a red ribbon.
TODAY you place a slice of lemon with some salt sprinkled on the plate.
TODAY you place an inverted glass beside that plate.
TODAY you place a single lit candle beside the flower.
TODAY you leave an empty chair at this place setting for a missing man.
TODAY you take a moment from celebrating life to thank the dead for the sacrifice they made.
TODAY you are not black, white, Jew, Christian, Democrat or Republican.
YOU are an American who has had someone volunteer to lay down their life to protect yours.
Whether they did it for money, for glory, for an education, to stay out of prison, or an inner sense of duty they said no one will hurt you on my watch. And they died trying to keep that promise.
TODAY you take one day to thank them. TODAY you recognize not that they died fighting for oil, or power, or money or what ever reason they were sent over there, but that they were willing to die for the man to their left and right, that they laid down their lives in service to a nation.
Whether or not they died in a blast over seas or in a crash here at home, they promised they would have done so stopping a bullet meant for you.
They wrote a check for their lives in order to protect yours.
Remember the cost on TODAY and EVERYDAY. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
