Memorial Day, Yes Memories of Those that Gave Their All, for All of Us!

AmericanPressTravelNews-May 29th, -Goose Holler’ Farm, TN.-Bob and Barb “Stopping to Smell the Roses” at the Farm!  As my dad was in the Battle of the Bulge, became permanently injured by loss of digits on his feet, but was able to continue to work and build a family, he was truly one of the lucky ones that went to, and came home from war. Besides being disfigured, he never got over his experiences and never spoke of them if he could help it! This weekend is for those that gave up everything for all of us, the world included, to keep us safe from the barbarism of the Germans and the Japanese, who both started a conflict that has been credited for killing over 60-million humans, people who wanted more than anything else to just live in peace and happiness. So this weekend, may the young who do not remember what happened before, that now lets them live free lives, doing great things and some very stupid things as well, and those that do remember the terror that is still going on to day in the Middle East, should thank more than their “lucky stars” ,in remembrance of those that went to heaven for us all. We all need to take a moment and pledge to them with our hand over our heart to the flag that has given us the freedoms, we now so often all take for granted!
