Oh Beautiful
For Heroes Proved
In Liberating Strife
Who more than self
their country loved
And mercy more than life
America America
May God thy gold refine
'till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine.

Happy Memorial Day, a wonderful tribute to those who gave their lives for us.
U Meezers made mom tear up . That was a beautiful post. Thanks for being a member of "a grateful nation". And remembering. Not everyone does. This is a subject very close to our momma's heart. She has lots of relatives in National cemetaries, but the ones closest to her heart are her Mom and Daddy, together at Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetary in San Antonio,TX. Thanks.
Now Mom is gonna get a Kleenex.
Hugs to the Meezers AND billy Sweet Feets!

ps If you take a look at Momma's Memorial day post, you will see where she is getting the phrase" a grateful nation"
ps 2 Thanks for remembering the "forgotton war" Korea. Used to irritate my mom.
Now my son, in the Army, is in S Korea, orders to come home July 8 and N Korea is acting up. Gee.
I wrote a novella, instead of a comment. Sorry!
Hugs to all of you and the mom lady too
