Re: The true meaning of Memorial Day
Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend...Karen and I attended a local lake association meeting on Saturday and met a Vietnam veteran. He showed us a laminated card he always carries in his wallet...on the card were the names of his fallen comrades and their position on the "wall" of the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, DC. He told me he carries the card so he will think about the guys everyday who didn't come back. He was wounded twice in action...tears came to his eyes as he told us the story of his time in combat and the friends he lost so many years ago.
It was a fitting experience for Memorial Day!
