We are reminded that they died so that we could live and continue to cherish the things they loved ---God, country and family.

We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.
"Moina Michael"

There is a price to be paid for freedom, be it ours or a neighboring land that seeks their own freedom and democracy.

Hopefully we will all use this thread to share remembrances through this Memorial Day.
