A Day of Remberance! Memorial Day! Holocaust!
To all of the men and women who have given their lives that we may continue to enjoy the freedom that we have in these United States. Let us take a moment out of our celebrating to remember who and why we celebrate.
And may we never forget the men and women who died in Vietnam -- a useless tragedy all it's own!

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.

Freedom isn't free. In fact, it is one of the most expensive privileges we have.
A beautiful memorial, Sylvia. Indeed. May we elect leaders who will honor their lives but making careful, wise decisions on the international stage.
Amen to that, too.
We commemorate their families as well.
This is a beautiful Memorial Day tribute. Thanks for the reminder of what the holiday is all about.
Some of your boys came to NEw Zealand during WW2. My friends who are in their 80s tell me these boys were handsome, and very popular with the local girls. The American boys had chocolate and stockings. Our local boys were overseas.
I've visited the Vietnam Memorial several times - it's a very moving experience and reminder of just how tragic that war really was. Thanks for helping us remember what the holiday is all about.
This is a beautiful remembrance to the fallen who have given the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you, Sylvia.
A very stirring memorial, Sylvia.
Yes, Sylvia. My heart and thoughts are with yours remembering those who have served and fallen...
Hi Sylvia... i nomi in questa lapide commemorativa sono infiniti....
Lest We Forget Sylvia, what a lot of Brave Souls here on Both sides of the Border did to allow us to keep our Freedom.
Our Remembrance Day comes in November when Canadians remember our Fallen and our Veterans and Soldiers in Active Service.
Well-deserved salute and prayers...
