Remember. A few years ago Travis, Pam, Barry, Shanna, Sarah, and I rode our motorcycles to Washington, D.C.. We did all the touristy things like go to the top of the Washington Monument, walk through the miles of the Smithsonian, and stand in front of the White House and Congress. But the things I remember the most are Arlington Cemetery, the Changing of the Guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the quiet peacefulness of the place, and the Vietnam Memorial Wall. There were the graves of men and women who loved the United States enough to die for Her. There were names of boys and girls, men and women etched on tombstones and a Black Wall. People who honored the flag, loved freedom, and fought for their homeland. They were from small towns, big cities, farms, factories; county people, mountain men, prairie women, Americans. Yes, more than any other site in our Nations Capitol I will remember a Cemetery and Black wall and names, some of people we knew personally, all we knew as Brothers and Sisters in the Family we call America.. Memorial Day is much more than a day off. Dont forget to Remember that Freedom comes at a great price and some were willing to pay it. Do good today.
