Happy Memorial Day
« on: May 25, 2020, 02:40:14 PM »
Hi all,
I hope you are all enjoying your Holiday. But while grilling steaks, burgers and dogs, drinking beer and wine, please take a moment to think about our fallen hero's and the families they never returned to.
Their lives were the price for our freedoms.
God bless this great country.

All the man and woman who paid the ultimate price should be remembered every day of the year.

I was outside this afternoon doing some yard work and heard TAPS being played.  I thought a family member was inside watching a war movie.   Found out later it was a national effort for buglers, trumpeters, cornetists across the land to play TAPS @ precisely 3pm.   As a former BSA troop bugler, I posted my gratitude on our neighborhood social media.   One neighbor replied her 12 year old son participated.

That is so very cool!
You never hear about anything like this in the Commie State of California
No respect for our military and veterans

On Australia's recent Anzac Day (equivalent to your Memorial Day), all brass players around the country were encouraged to stand at their own front gate and play The Last Post at 6am.  Everyone in the country was encouraged to stand in their driveways and light up the dawn with a candle and pay their respects to veterans, past and present, by holding a minute's silence immediately after The Last Post was played, as people would normally do at community Dawn Services.  I lit the Hurricane Lantern, stood with my family at our front gate and pumped out a recording of The Last Post at 6am on my car stereo.  We are rural, but we could hear feint renditions in the distance.  Very different from the large public gatherings we're used to, but equally as moving.
