Very Expensive
May 29, 2022 10:15:23 #
From a friend's Facebook:
Monday will be the most expensive holiday on the calendar. Every hot dog, every burger, every spin around the lake, or drink with friends and family...is a debt...purchased by others.
This is not about all who've served...that day comes in the fall. This one is to honor of those who paid in life and blood; whose moms never saw them again, whose dads wept in private, whose wives raised kids alone, and whose kids only remembered them from pictures.
This isn't simply a day off. This is a day to remember - that others paid for every free breath you will ever get to take.
Freedom!

It is important to remember that the profound loss goes beyond teh silenced heartbeat of teh Servicemember, but to the families friends and the entire community.
Freedom certainly isn't free, but we sure have a bunch of Brass Hats and a CINC who act like it.

It's a shame the parades get smaller while more attention is paid to what's on sale.
