Memoriam

Today is a day to remember.  Remember those who have served, those who have given their lives in order to protect our freedoms and the freedoms of others.  Those people are true heroes, and those who deny them that or believe them to be a reason for troubles in the world, or those who disrespect them or spite them, those people do not deserve to have freedoms in this nation, let alone an opinion, but this nation allows those freedoms to all who are citizens of this great nation.  Remember and honor those who have served.  Do not think of today as a day of rest, or as a joyous occasion, or a cause for a party, think of it as a day to ponder.  Ponder what might happen if there is no one to serve, ponder the outcome of the world if this nation were not so, ponder if there were not the kind of people there are who are willing to give there lives for others, ponder everything, ponder why you have done what you have done, ponder if you have justified there sacrifice, ponder whether or not you make the most out of every day, ponder if you are a person of greed or a person who the soldiers would be happy to know, ponder.  Remember them.  Honor them.  Today is not a day off, today is a day of remembrance.
