LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE

LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE


* * * Over 40 million American citizens have fought to secure and defend our country since its inception in the 18th century, and over 1.2 million people have died in the service of this country since its beginning. * * *


Kind of makes you stop and think, doesn't it?


* * * There are currently 140,000 American men and women defending the lives and freedom of not only Americans, but also millions of Iraqis on the ground in Iraq and millions more in Afghanistan this Memorial Day. * * *


So while we're watching the parades and enjoying picnics with our loved ones this weekend, remember our best and bravest who put our lives before theirs and aren't home with their loved ones to celebrate.

And when you're throwing those steaks and burgers on the grill, take a few minutes to think about WHY we honor this day.


Be proud today because you ARE an American.


REMEMBER AND HONOR OUR FALLEN


GOD BLESS AMERICA
