    "Memorial Day"

     



    Memorial Day is set aside for those that gave there life's in defense of our Nation.

    With that said,.... This year, like in years gone by,... I will remember some faces, names, smiles, jokes, tears, etc. of those that will forever remain young in our hearts and minds,..... For all that have given the greatest sacrifice in defense of THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH (IMHO). A most heart felt, and humble Thank You from the bottom of my heart, your sacrifice was not in vein,... (this point is amplified as I look around at my family, My Wife, My Children,... and my Grandson)

    We will always remember that Freedom is not free,.... and you were willing to pay the price. GOD Bless you all!

    PAID IN FULL !

    This "Tough lil' Marine" knows first hand the price of Freedom,.... Please remember this, This weekend,... Lest we forget ,.....

    Memorial Day for me is always somewhat of a somber occasion as I think of my uncle who was killed on Saipan. One of the reasons I joined the Marine Corps upon graduating from high school.

    "hello, david"

     



    My Grampa had this poem hanging on his wall in the parlor next to his trophy case and I think it might be very fitting for today!! He always had tears in his eyes when he read it too me when I was a little girl..


    Hello, David--my name is Dusty.
    I'm your night nurse.
    I will stay with you.
    I will check your vitals
    every 15 minutes.
    I will document
    inevitability.
    I will hang more blood
    and give you something
    for your pain.
    I will stay with you
    and I will touch your face.

    Yes, of course,
    I will write your mother
    and tell her you were brave.
    I will write your mother
    and tell her how much you loved her.
    I will write your mother
    and tell her to give your bratty kid sister
    a big kiss and hug.
    What I will not tell her
    is that you were wasted.

    I will stay with you
    and I will hold your hand.
    I will stay with you
    and watch your life
    flow through my fingers
    into my soul.
    I will stay with you
    until you stay with me.

    Goodbye, David---my name is Dusty.
    I'm the last person
    you will see.
    I'm the last person
    you will touch.
    I'm the last person
    who will love you.

    So long, David--my name is Dusty.
    David--who will give me something
    for my pain?

    Woah Brittnay, that is "heart wrenching" - - - we have a friend that is a Nam Vet and dying from Cancer. The last month it has reduced him to almost an invalid and every night we pray for God's mercy to end his suffering !
