Memorial Day is hard for some vets

Please tell your husband Thank you for serving and protecting our country. I have 2 sons (12&13) and everytime i look at them in their beds sleeping peacefully i think of all the men and women ,past and present that have made and are making horrible sacrifices that allowes them that priviledge. We have several family members that are currently in the militery or are vets and my sons and my grandchildren (3&5) have been taught that the men and women in the militery are their guardian angels that have willing made sacrefices for us and our country. Again please tell your husband that we are greatful for all that he and his friends endured for us. My grandsons are still young enough that when they see someone in a militery uniform they get excited because they are seeing one of their guardian angels. My sons are older and although not quite old enough yet to appreciate all that soilders give up they see enough on the news that they pray for them and ask that they get home safely. I can't tell you how greatful i am for the protection the militery gives and how ashamed at the little thanks they get in return.

Thank you for your discussion. I am thankful for the people who serve in the military. It is very distrubing to see people you know get killed and many wars are like an inferno...so I'm always grateful about the people who serve and I give much thanks...thank you all who serve, and thank you for those who have served.

you are so right. we should not forget for a moment those who did come back and what we owe them. we should realize that memorial day can be actually painful for them as they remember friends who never got to come home and see their families and do the things we all take forgranted. so pay some attention to vets at home.

I am sorry for your husband's pain, but oh so grateful for him and soldiers like him who served and continue to serve their country. My brother also served in Vietnam, but he has no memory of it. He also has very few memories of his childhood. It's like he had to block out everything that happened up to the point he came home in order to stay sane. Other than having no memories, he's fine, but many aren't. My heart goes out to all of them.

im sppry the lose of ur husband friends ...lets just pray for there souls.....I salute for them for serving the country
