Once a year,
Say a Prayer for me,
Close our eyes
and remember me.
The weekend is about a lot more than burning brats and cold beer. Sic transit gloria mundi.
My saddest C-5 mission was bringing transfer caskets from Somalia to Dover, DE. The caskets contained the remains of the Soldiers from the Battle of Mogadishu, a.k.a. Black Hawk Down incident.
Some gave all, all gave some…
Today I spent about 4 hours placing flags by graves that were veterans in various wars. Out American Legion Post does this every year. Monday the 26th we will have a ceremony at the same cemetery for the fallen. I have a couple of friends that are buried in this cemetery and I put two flags on their graves as respect for their service to this country. It is a honor to do this every year for them. May all that read this have a very great Memorial Day.
RIP soldiers. Thank all of you for your sacrifices. Your families miss you very much.

To those that sacrificed, you are not forgotten.
Rest in peace, brothers, sisters, and shipmates. We have the watch.
Thank you all.
Sabaton has a cover of “1916” (original done by Motorhead) which is powerful statement on the futility of war.
