Debwiki,

Hope you don't mind but I would like to get one thing off my mind, about honoring our service men and Memorial Day. I have not seen it here, but on other sites, there are comments that today is a day of rememberance, not celebrations and BBQs. My family has had a different take on our fallen men/women. and even death, "do not cry over my death, instead I want you to dance on my grave, and love, laugh and yes recall all the memories that have made your lives richer thru knowing me in my lifetime." I understand that places like the graves of all those dear ones is not the place to celebrate, but backyard BBQs campsites, etc is in my view the perfect gathering place to remember, honor, pray and celebrate what we have gained thru our generations of soldiers. Thank you. lola
