Poppies. In remembrance of those who gave.

I wish we Americans celebrated this holiday as well as the Brits and Canadians. I served with some Canadians in Afghanistan, and they had poppies as part of their uniform. All too often I get the feeling that most Americans just think of it as a day off. Memorial Day has become just a day of grilling instead of remembering those of us who paid the full measure. I found a video a few years back that I always watch on Veteran's Day. You can find it on Youtube. It's called A Pittance of Time by Terry Kelly. I encourage everyone to watch it. To my brothers who didn't come home, and my Father who thankfully did, I will never forget!
