SOGman Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Tonight the dead live again in my dreams. They are always with me but today is their day. I will visit a cemetery today though none are buried there. They are scattered all across this great nation of ours. There I will visit with others who gave their all and again my brothers will be with me. I am the last of my unit to walk this earth and when I am gone I will be reunited with them and the unit will be whole again. They say this day is to remember the dead, I say it is for the living to never forget freedom is not free but has been paid for by the dead we honor this day.

Von_L Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Spot-on, SOGman. Thanks for that. Have likewise had the privilege to serve and to meet vets from our previous fights. Am more and more conscious that I am talking to the survivors. Dad was a WWII sailor who joined up with his best buddy from high school. His buddy was a US Marine who never returned. For the rest of his life, Dad always remembered that he was going to college, raising a family, pursuing a career and fishing those lovely trout streams for a brother who gave up all of those things on our behalf, at age 19 in a firefight on Okinawa, 09 JUN 1945. Remember our gold star families, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
