Memorial Day Weekend

[Artchie]

Guys and Girls,

I want to take a moment to Thank our Troops, For all of the Sacrifices that they have made both past and present. I know there are a lot of guys on this forum that give up their time, family and lives to support our wonderful country. Some people forget that this weekend is to remember all of the wonderful, amazing and brave individuals that gave up their lives to protect OUR freedom, not a 3 day weekend to go drinking and have a BBQ. When you are eating and drinking please remember the ones that couldn't or don't have the opportunity to do so.

God Bless America and Thank you for Service and sacrifice.

Its always in my thoughts.

Eric

Keep it up boys, Lets Thank the guys and gals who have sacrificed for our Freedom!!

I'm confused at the thread.

I don't get a 3 day weekend (Saturday, Sunday & Monday) & many of our active military doesn't get a 3 day weekend.

I do have Sunday, Monday & Tuesday off, but my hearts go out to those overseas fighting for our freedoms so that we can enjoy a long weekend!

Amen brother. Great post OP. God bless all our troops. Thank you all for your service and sacrifices. Also, remind anyone you know out shopping all the memorial sales that thousands of selfless Americans spilt their blood and have their lives so that we could be free. It's not about cookouts and sales, it's about Americans sacrificing so that we may be free

[EJohnson]

Thank you, and also thank you to all my other fellow vets, past, present, and future. Thank you for what you've done.

Hoo-yah.
