I know most Honor Our Fallen on the last Monday in May... but in our home May 30th was the day in which we Honored them. My dad was a WWII Veteran... and just because those in Congress took it upon themselves to change the date to make Memorial Day into a three-day weekend... made know difference to my dad. They could change it to whatever they wanted... but for him... Memorial Day would always be May 30th. And in being his daughter and being like-minded as him in so many ways... and in having this day always be the day in which we Honored Our Fallen. I have continued to do so even though he has been gone longer than my heart and mind wishes to dwell. He lays beside my brother... both receiving flowers on the 30th of May in Honor of their service.
To the men and women who gave their all... who believed in something greater than self... and sacrificed so others may be free... to live free... and all that entails. I Honor you this day and remember all that is great in the country in which I live because you made it possible for me to live it.
I really appreciate your support and helping spread the word - as a group we can really make a difference! Hope you are doing well and you have a great week!

My country ‘tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing. Land where my father died! Land of the Pilgrim’s pride! From ev’ry mountain side, Let freedom ring... My native country thee, Land of the noble free, Thy name I love. I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills; My heart with rapture thrills. Like that above... Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees, Sweet freedoms song. Let mortal tongues awake; Let all that breathes partake; Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong... Our Father’s God to Thee, Author of liberty, To Thee we sing. Long may our land be bright, With freedoms holy light; Protect us by thy might, Great God, our King... ~ Samuel Frances Smith
– Remembering all who have served, And those that serve today. Remembering those about to deploy, And those deployed. Remembering our fallen, Those that have given the ultimate sacrifice. And... Remembering the sometimes forgotten, The ones that waited at home loving them....
Thanks to you and to all our military, past and present, for your service to our country and for keeping us safe. God bless you and your military brothers and sisters.
Hey, How the heck are you? I am sorry I have not been in touch, I have been working day and night for several months. I will have some time in the near future though. It would be nice to talk to you sometime. Josh Revak
Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it greatly. Also, thank you for your service to our great nation and continued support. It is always so humbling to see such heart felt efforts extended to the troops. You are a great American!
