I just watched a program on PBS that brings home what Memorial Day is really all about.The program visited all the American war dead cemeteries in 8 foreign counties.There are graves of  125,000 American men and women  in those cemeteries.These men and women and all the others who died for not only our freedom,but the freedom of millions of people all around the world are the real reason for Memorial Day.When I was stationed in Europe,I visited the American cemetery at Verdun,France.That was one of the most somber and emotional experiences of my life.The whole world owes an enormous debt to all who have served in our Military,but especially to those who gave all in the defense of freedom.

Although Monday was the US's Memorial Day, Let's not forget the Canadians, Aussies and Brits who were right there with us EVERY time. Hard to find friends who will do that. Salute.
