What used to be called Dedication Day, became Memorial Day.  The time that we remember those who served so that the western world can live in freedom.  While there hasn’t been peace since Cain and Abel, or the beginning of humans, we’ve experienced the longest time without a global conflict Among Countries.

With no due respect to John Edwards who is claiming there is no global war on terror, we do have that situation to deal with and we’ll remember those who fought to keep the conflict in the the countries instead of on our soil.

Rather than being too pithy, which I’m not, I’m going to link to those who remember it better than me….So here goes.

The list of war casualties, including the one that currently causes the greatest toll on Americans.

Don Surber with pictures of what soldiers have to live like.

A great YouTube video by Lizzie Palmer documenting who the soldier’s are, brothers, fathers, friends….

Blackfive has messages from families about the fallen, but not forgotton. 

PoliPundit shows PROGRESS being made in Bagdad.

DefenseTech has a video for those who died for our freedoms. Taps at Arlington Cemetary, very touching, it sent goosebumps down me to listen to it.  I though of my Dad who served.
Fausta’s Blog documents the LOSS of freedom in Venezuala.

Maverick News Media documents one soldier who doesn’t support the troops.

Blackfive tells a soldiers view of Memorial Day. …..for a soldier who paid the ultimate price.

Blackfive hows to honor our heros.

All in all, it is a day to remember hero’s, and everyday people who served for you and me.  So that Americans and British can speak english, French can speak French,  Chinese and most of the pacific speak their language.

Thank you.
