Anger and Hatred are the Tools of Destruction
Happy Memorial Day Everyone! May God Bless all thouse who have come home and thouse that did not, from the United States and all the Countries off the World, as the Good Book says, "There is no greater love then this, that him who would lay down his life for his friends." -John 15;13
Thanks Grandad, well both Grandfathers on both sidees of my family since you both served in WWII, I hope to Volenteer for Honor Flight perhaps this year or the next to help our Veterans of WWII welcome Home!
Thank you all for your service and God Bless you All!
On a Personal note, I have mixed feelings on Memorial Day, I get happy, sad, depressed and joyful. Sad for all those that have given thier lives in war but great respect for their sacrifice. It also gets me depressed because of my Grandfather. Growing up my Mom and Dad devorced when I was young so my Grandfather was the leading male role model in my life, he was a really good man and was a WWII veteran. he never really saw action, although Im not reallt sure about what he did in the service as a US Marine. I know he was bound to Japan on a Libertay Transport Ship after they dropped the Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He was part of the operation to secure and occupy Japan by the United States military but I'm not so sure what he did. I never really asked him about it, but then agian I was young. My Grandfather passed away in 2005 from cancer and i dearly miss him. I am joyful becuase all of the veterans we have today and I hope to pay homage and honor to them for their service to us, they deserve our love and respect for what they've done for us.
