Memorial Day 2008: A Day of Remembrance

May 26th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Memorial Day 2008: A Day of RemembranceToday is Memorial Day, May 26, 2008, and it’s a day set aside in remembrance of soldiers who have given their lives on our behalf, so that we can live in Freedom.

“And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free. And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me. And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today. ‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A.” By Lee Greenwood

Today my family and I will remember and honor those who have died in wars past and present, remembering their love for this country and patriotism with appreciation and gratitude for their ultimate sacrifice, offering up prayers for the children and loved ones of the deceased soldiers.

Please place your right hand over your heart as you listen to Whitney Houston sing The Star Spangled Banner.

Be Safe this Memorial Day Weekend! God Bless America!

    Lightening, Whitney Houston does by FAR the best job of singing the Star Spangled Banner, and it gives me goose bumps every time I hear it. :)
