"I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day.
I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did. "
~Benjamin Harrison
In memory and honor of those who have fought and died to keep our country free.
May God continue to protect and bless the United States of America!
Wishing you a safe and Happy Memorial Day!

I watched WWII movies all weekend long. They always remind me of the sacrifices made by our military. Both of my grandfathers served in WWI (one also served in WWI).
