Memorial Day
 

I would just like to thank all of the men and women who have served this
country by being in the armed services.Also condolences to those who have
lost loved ones doing so.


I feel this holiday is not thought of enough but merely the first chance
to go to the beach or not have to work.People dont stop to think if it
wasnt for these brave men and women we might not have a beach to
go to.


I hope people here on board will take a moment to stop and think about
those who gave their lives for us.

To all those I see in uniform here is town
and to all who have served. and to those who have passed on

I do remember you
I thank you

Bill

Shoeless and Bill V "Less we Never Forget" the men and women of the Armed Forces give the ultimate sacrifice for us and the country. I along with you will never forget.

We Regret to Inform You


Dear parents of the deceased
We regret to inform you of this release
Your son was mortally wounded in combat
His valor in finest tradition and all that

Dear wife and children of this brave man
We regret to inform you of this telegram
Your husband and father killed by sniper fire
He was aiding the wounded until he expired

Dear America, home of our war dead,
We regret to inform you about all this bloodshed
For their gallantry under hostile action are sent
These silver stars and medals from the President

Dear combat comrades of these dear fallen men
We regret to inform you that your memories never end
The sights and sounds of their death keep pounding away
Their names carved on a wall as you kneel down to pray
