Memorial Day Everyone Needs to Remember Why We are Not Enslaved-Commentary!!

AmericanPressTravelNews–May 25th, Commentary–By Bob Epstein, Publisher—-Memorial Day is coming up on Monday. We have too many horrible Memorial Days! No I won’t list them here. All smart and decent people older than far too many college age youth, increasingly being taught by some incredibly poor and foolish teachers- even those that call themselves “Professors” (liberal all and socialist leaning, heavily leaning) know what I mean, and have the list burned into their memories. Lest anyone think that all those that have come before and confronted life and death as soldiers for “the Good” not the evil, paid dearly in blood, limb, mental disarray for life, and unfortunately death as well. So, having just been to a children’s science museum in Oak Ridge (home of the nuclear bomb development) TN, and noticing a sculpture created out of steel taken from the Twin Towers horrors, I felt everyone always needs to remember and say never again!
Barb stands at the Memorial Monument and we asked a few of the children that entered the museum what it was, and none of them bothered to read the plaque. They just wanted to play games at the museum. So I asked their teachers why did they dismiss the opportunity to teach their charges about this. Answer: “not very appropriate for their students” by most of them. I should have been stunned. But, I was not! We all live in a nation that has had a dollar become close to worthless, and an educational system amongst many systems, that have become devalued to disastrous depths.

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!
