Today we celebrate our veterans. If you haven’t said thanks to someone you know who made the choice to protect this great land, now would be a great time. Happy Memorial Day. Thanks to anyone who put our country above themselves. We love you.
Fallen Hero - U.S. Marine pays respect to fallen comrade
Hello to all and thank you for remembering. I lost 3 brothers to the Vietnam War and always bring out their photos on this weekend. Thanks.
Wow. That is so amazing. Without sounding too cliche’, your family is owed a great deal of gratitude. Thanks for sharing your story.
A poem sent in from Elaine Betts, Poet Laureate for the City of San Ramon:
Remember all those loved ones, who fight for us this day,
The suffered loss and tragedy, that’s met along the way.
Remember all our heroes, the fight for promised land,
Who’s courage is unwavering, despite the fear at hand.
Brothers in arms they boldly go, a team, a family build,
Tragic loss, and stricken grief, when one of them is killed.
Brave souls lost, and brave souls still, to fight another day,
To keep the peace and freedom, yet hope for other another way.
Remember those from history, the battles that were fought,
Continued bloodshed, pain, and fear, til peace be truly sought.
Decorate and celebrate, for all that they stand for,
Think of peace, and bring goodwill, instead to think of war.
Honor them for all they’ve done, give thanks, and blessings too,
For all they’ve done protecting us, each one, including you.
Its good of you to remind us of what really matters
Have a great day and thanks
Erik
