Definitely remember those who served and those who gave their lives serving.

We celebrate our "Remembrance Day" November 11 here in Canada.

Well...it's not really Memorial Day yet....but anywhoozle:

 

[Groovy Man]

^^^ Well....it is ''Memorial Day Weekend''...so, excuse me for being patriotic.

Enjoy and appreciate your ''Freedom''....

because you're eligible for the draft.

Ya never know what tomorrow brings.

Yeah, it's a little early for it, but it is the "holiday weekend", so close enough for me.

I agree with Groovy's sentiments in the first post, remember the reason for this "holiday". Remember those over the years who shed their blood, sweat and tears ... gave their lives, and fought to defend and retain the freedoms we enjoy in the US. Simply remembering to appreciate and honor the warriors themselves is not a bad thing to do (ever!)

Am not. I'm a pacifist and ladies can't be drafted.

 

[Groovy Man]

Am not. I'm a pacifist and ladies can't be drafted.

Well...um...they all say that...

plus, I heard they send pacifists straight to the front line.

Served my time in the service and proud to be part of a long family history of vets who had the stones to stand up when the need presented itself.

If you are a vet I salute you

"This Ain't No Rag It's A Flag"

This ain't no rag it's a flag
And we don't wear it on our heads
It's a symbol of the land where the good guys live
Are you listening to what I said
You're a coward and a fool
And you broke all of the rules
And you wounded our American pride

And now we're coming with a gun
And we know you're gonna run
But you can't find no place to hide
We're gonna hunt you down like a mad dog hound
Make you pay for the lives you stole
We're all through talking and a messing around
And now it's time to rock and roll

These colors don't run and we're speaking as one
When we say united we stand
When you mess with one, you mess with us all
Every boy, girl, woman and man
You've been acting mighty rash
And talking that trash
Let me give you some advice
You can crawl back in your hole
Like a dirty little mole

But now you're gonna pay the price
You might of shot us in the back
Now you have to face the fact
That the big boys' in the game
And the lighening's been flashing
And the thunder's been crashing
And now it's getting ready to rain

Chorus:
This is the United States of America
The land of the brave and the free
We believe in God and we believe in justice
We believe in liberty
You've been pulling our chain
We should've done something 'bout you a long time ago
But now the flag's flying high and the fur's gonna fly
And soon the whole world's gonna know

This ain't no rag, it's a flag
Old Glory red, white and blue
The stars and the stripes when it comes to a fight
We can do what we have to do
Our people stand proud
The American crowd is faithful, loyal and tough
We're good as the best and better than the rest
And you're gonna find out soon enough
When you look up in the sky
And you see the eagle fly
You better know he's a heading your way
Cause this ain't no rag it's a flag
And it stands for the USA
USA
USA
USA

Repeat Chorus

Well...um...they all say that...

I'm not a general but something about that doesn't strike me as the best battle plan.
