Memorial Day..... Let's not forget

[plugcrazy]

that's a heartbreaking photo, Rich.



John Moore Getty Images "Memorial Day At Arlington" Mary McHugh mourns her slain fiance Sgt. James Regan at the Arlington National Cemetery May 27, 2006, Memorial Day weekend. Regan, a U.S. Army Ranger from Long Island, was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq in February, and this was the first time McHugh had visited the grave since the funeral. When he died, Regan was on his fourth combat deployment - twice in Afghanistan and twice in Iraq.


btw, as a Duke graduate, Sgt. Regan could have joined the Army as an officer, but decided to enlist instead. He didn't want to get stuck behind a desk.

This was very touching thanks for sharing. Thanks to all the vets who have given their lives for the US.

So true, folks. Thanks for your remembrances and thoughts for these soldiers.
Pebbles and I went to a Memorial Day Service, it was beautiful. I have been a little busy and haven't yet been able to post these. It was nice to see the turnout and support.












A quote I remember from the service....
