I want YOU!


My grandmother used to call it "Decoration Day". Nowadays we call it "Memorial Day".

But the idea is the same. People die! Some of them in the service of thier country, some from bad people doing bad things to them, some from their own stupidity, some from disease, and some because their parts wear out. But we need to spend a few minutes thinking about them and putting a flower on their grave. Go decorate a grave.

And if that grave is the one of a person who died defending us all; a solider, a sailor, a marine, a flyboy, a nurse, a missionary, a fireman, a policeman, a neighbor who died saving an old person who could not get out of a burning building, a passer-by who stopped to help a kid stuck in a wind damaged house, or even a person who tried to pull someone out of a car caught in a storm sewer; shed a tear, thank God for that person, and hope you can be as brave and do the same yourself. And spend a moment at that grave, thank God for them and be glad they did such a brave act.

And in a couple of weeks we will have a holiday that we call "The Fourth of July" but my Grandmother called "Independance Day" and thank the members of the Armed Forces, the thinkers who defined the Constitution and the people on the street that will not let the politicians take our freedoms away. Send George Bush a letter telling him that you are proud of your Independance and you will not let him send your sons off to die to insure that he is not made to look like the fool he is.
