No discussion, no flame, simply post photo's that you believe relate to Memorial Day. I'll start with three of my favorites: the last one is a pic of my son now in Iraq

 I have never been to a place where I was more moved by the timeless sense of history. Seeing the oil brurst to the surface from the bunkers and feeling those still below. I am proud to say I made a special trip to Hawaii just because showing respect for those who gave all is important to me. This was prior to 9/11. |
     The last four are of my best friend Captain Kermit Evans, USAF, EOD. We were stationed together and he helped me out a bunch when I was a new butterbar. We lost him in Iraq and it kills me to this day. Some pics of him, his family, and us at his funeral in Arlington.

Honor and remember them ALWAYS through support and faith... Care for their decisions, no matter how silly or ludacris they may seem... They volunteer to uphold the public trust and internal fortitude... One can only wish to be amongst their compay now if only for a minute... They stand on an eternal watch so that NOBODY will invade or trespass... Forever love... PICS from LF:           V OUT |
 THE CALL The blood of men flows ever out As raging rivers to the sea There seems to be an endless source From long lost memory The young men come to volunteer To shed their blood once more They've heard the call to bleed again Upon some distant shore Why is the call to die so strong That men will heed the call Or do they think they're not the ones Who'll take the final fall. It's always someone else who dies Not we who volunteer We think we'll never be the one And laugh to hide our fear But deep within our inner souls We know we may be wrong That death may be around the turn Our life may not be long But never mind we heard the call We line up in our ranks And a grateful nation will be there To give us all their thanks They'll build for us a monument Young boys will come to stare And they will be the next to go To shed their blood somewhere. |

Not a photograph, but nonetheless a great tribute to a fallen hero. Bobby Warns Video Tribute Thank you to all who have served, those who are still serving, and those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. You will never be forgotten.
