    While celebrating this weekend, please, don't forget the meaning of Memorial Day

    Its that time again. As the thought of a 3 day weekend quickly approaches and we start thinking about what we're going to do, where we're going to go, and what we're going to eat, lets not forget the reason as to why we are given the day off and why we are free to celebrate this day in the matter we see fit.

    Whether you take a minute or a moment please recall for yourself and educate the young the meaning behind this day. And please take a moment to remember those who gave all for this great country of ours, those who fought for and defended this great country of ours, and those who are scattered the world abroad, continously defending and fighting for this great country of ours and our freedom.

    Remember, freedom isn't free.


    Have a safe and wonderful Memorial Day weekend!


    And to those who may visit this board while serving our great country....THANK YOU!!!!

    I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

    I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

              My dad is ex-West Virginia Air National Guard. He used to fly C-130s in the 1980s and early 1990s before quitting and now flies commercially with US Airways. He served in the first Gulf War so we never forget about the true meaning of Memorial Day in our household!

                  I have a hard time listening to this song and almost didn't post it on the site due to the "personal meaning" it has to me. But I thought that maybe others would enjoy it, even though its country music.

                          I've got a couple of family members currently serving on the US Army Special Operations unit so I'd like to say that I love them, respect and appreciate all they do for us. This applies to the rest of the men and women serving all over the world as well. Thank you!

                              My cousin served two tours, one in Afghanistan, one in Iraq...Hung out with him all day yesterday (unfortunately we couldnt do anything today due to scheduling conflicts).

                              He got back from his second tour about a year ago and since then has gotten married and had a beautiful child.

                              I thank him every time I see him for his contribution to our country.
