I know that May 25th has been named Universal Day of the Jedi to commemorate the original release date of the the first, “Han shoots first” version of Star Wars. Yes, to movie geeks worldwide (including myself) that’s a significant date.
But I want to take a moment to remind folks in the U.S. that today, Monday, is Memorial Day - a day of REAL importance. A day to remember all those who have served in the military to defend our way of life and especially those who have died so we can have the freedom to freely discuss whatever we want and call the current president every name in the book without repercussions.
Please take a moment from your day off and your barbeques to remember WHY you don’t have to go to work today.
To those who served or are currently serving, I thank you. And to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice, I hope you are in a better place.

Amen, Vic! It’s a day to remember those who fell to protect the freedoms we enjoy here in the U.S.

Gotta agree, Vic. Although I am not one of the lucky ones to have today off to celebrate. Freakin’ retail.
My Father died a little over a year ago .
He served in world war II,the Korean war and the Vietnam war(Stateside) briefly.
I remember him today .
As well as the rest of those brave men and women who have given their lives for our freedom.
Rest in Peace fallen Heros!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Let us never forget that our troops died protecting freedom around the world. (Freedoms that no other countries have).
Let us never forget that the military fights to preserve the Consitution and the Bill of Rights. Let us never forget that sacrifice, and we must never let it be in vain or forgotten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No matter who the commander in chief is, the Troops allways have my support!!!

I urge everyone tonight to watch a movie or read a book about our Heroes. Band of Brothers, Midway, Saving Private Ryan, Combat(tv show), Kelly’s Heroes, etc.
Maybe some others can put up some heroic films I missed.
As I recall, you served in the military a while back, Vic. All of us owe you — and everyone else who has served — a debt of gratitude. As the old saying goes, freedom isn’t free.
