What will you do tomorrow to remember the fallen ones?
How will you honor those who gave all?
At our house we will raise the flag in the front yard and invite the neighbors to join us in prayer.
Some fucking government asshole told contractors to remove the American flag from a park because the cunt said it detracted from the guest experience.
We decided to raise an additional flag tomorrow to answer the cunt.
She belongs on the same cell block with the traitor joe biden.
I refuse to offer respect to anyone so insanely ignorant and entitled.
Fuck that bitch to bell where she belongs.

Why are these far left Nazis ALWAYS ugly? The National Park Service is one of the most Fascist agencies in government. They think the parks are theirs and the animals. Not the U.S. taxpayers'. Dimwitted Commies all!
Fuck her!

I have no plans except to double down on my intention to not vote for warmongering Democrats and RINOs.

A nice quiet day at home with family. Remembering and praying for those who gave all.

I rarely drink but on Memorial Day I have 2 beers. One for my buddies who came home horizontally and the other for me. My flag is at half staff today for them and others. I spent 3 years in the army with 2 in Vietnam. Then changed to the air force for 18 years.

I am very lucky in that I had no close friends or family killed in war despite several having served. But we have a cousin who died in WW2 and there are two versions of the story. He has a memorial in our family plot but his remains are somewhere in India or offshore underwater.
He was in the Army Air Corps and was shot down over the Himalayas and presumed dead. A year later the family discovered that he had survived and was a prisoner of war in Burma. One version says he was released and was on a transport plane home when the plane went down over India. The other version is he died in the POW camp and it was his body being brought home on the transport which crashed into the ocean.
Either way, another of our cousins recently contacted Indian officials in an attempt to locate/recover his body (80 years later) but was told it was impossible due to religious reasons. Maybe Hindus believe you shouldn't disturb the dead or something? Or maybe just that's what they told him, but no way were they gonna expend any money or effort to do this. Anyway, it ain't never gonna happen. He left a widow who never remarried, and no children. He was 24 years old.
This prompted me to look up recovery efforts and I found that we did indeed try very hard to recover the WW2 dead:
