Memorial Day Wishes ~ 2009

During this Memorial Day weekend, I just wanted to wish everyone a safe and somber Memorial Day celebration, lest we forget what it is really all about (the parades and cookouts aside).

The following is an article by a member of my old Air Force squadron (if the last name looks familiar to any of you Red Sox fans, it is because he is Terry/Tito's first cousin). Please read it while listening to the song I have linked here. (And I dare anyone not to shed a tear or two during it!)

(This version of the song is sung by the Dropkick Murphys, a local Boston band.)

Thanks to all the Vets (both those that gave their lives and those that served proudly and returned home safely) from a grateful Nation!
