Lest we Forget

They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them......and be grateful for them :)

While on a business trip to Washington, DC, I had the good fortune to stay another day and a half and tour the memorials.  They were all sobering!  The Korean War Memorial is larger than life-size and is made with every detail from the worry on a soldier's face to the antenna on the radio he carried on his back.  There was a memorial that stated these words, which I will never forget ... "Freedom is not Free"

At the Vietnam Memorial the names on the stones went on and on and on ... and moved a person to silence and reverence realizing that all those people lost their lives ... fathers, sons ... and two young men who used to babysit me.  I found their names and they died fairly close together time-wise ...

Forever grateful ...

Thanks Elaine and Barb ...
