Trailrider #896 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 In the middle of the current COVID-19 situation, with our own personal concerns about the health and well-being of our families and ourselves, it is sometimes difficult to recall those members of our Armed Forces who, when our country called them to go in harm's way, stood up and replied, "Here I am! Send me!" To the families of the Fallen we say, "We do remember and honor these fallen warriors. To their spirits we say, "Rest In Peace, Comrade Dear. God is near!" Lest we forget...Lest we forget!" | | | | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Multas per gentes et multa per aequora vectus advenio has miseras, frater, ad inferias, ut te postremo donarem munere mortis et mutam nequiquam alloquerer cinerem. Quandoquidem fortuna mihi tete abstulit ipsum. Heu miser indigne frater adempte mihi, nunc tamen interea haec, prisco quae more parentum tradita sunt tristi munere ad inferias, accipe fraterno multum manantia fletu, atque in perpetuum, frater, ave atque vale.

There are more names, but I can only remember their faces after all these years. These men, not picnics and barbecue, are in my thoughts every Memorial Day. May they Rest In Peace.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 My family spent part of the day at the Veterans Cemetery paying respect to my Dad. WWII veteran, US NAVY. Injured in battle and discharged with disability. He passed away in 2011. I've know a couple back in the late 60's and early 70's who were killed in Vietnam. But I've known 4 who came back, 3 of which later died of Agent Orange related cancer. The 3rd has suffered health issues for 30+ years, AO related issues. Many unsung héros who have paid the price. God Bless them. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patagonia Pete Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Yep ... Hey!! Lets make it a 3 day weekend!! I was born on May 30th ... and at the time May 30th was "Memorial Day" ... businesses closed; there were parades; there was a lot of respect for the day (and what it represented). My parents (as were others with births on the 30th) were presented with an engraved "baby" spoon by a local radio station. It was a big deal.
