We honored our Fallen Warriors yesterday, and kept the spark of NOLA's Tea Party Movement glowing at the (world's longest name for an event) Greater New Orleans Memorial Day Constitutional Tea Party Picnic. Good fellowship, interesting speeches, readings by schoolchildren, recognition of Veterans, and a Memorial service for those who sacrificed their lives that we -- and those who call us friend -- might live our lives in freedom's fold. I forgot to bring a floral tribute, so I made a daisy chain of clover flowers to place beneath the poster. Somehow, Memorial Day this year feels like more than just the day that the pools open.
Hot Air posted commentary and several photos of the Memorial constructed on the site struck inside the Pentagon by the cowards of 9/11. Commemorated are The Fallen, service members and civilians alike. It's a very moving piece and worth the view.
A day for reflection, gratitude, and not just a small measure of uncertainty about the future.
Again...what is our present military to think in regard to their future service?
