Yesterday I did my usual routine for Memorial Day. I visited the veteran's cemetery, visited the grave sites of my grandfather, uncles...all of whom were involved in wars from WWI to the Korean War. I also visited the cemetery where some friends of mine, from the Vietnam War, have eternal rest. It's just something I feel I have to do. In fact, it's the least I can do. I really wasn't up to doing it since I have been having problems with my blood pressure being up. But, I wouldn't have been able to sleep if I didn't pay tribute to these men.

Then last night I finished watching "Band of Brothers." I started watching this series on HBO on Demand Saturday. It's one of the best series ever on cable TV in my opinion. Plus, I did a lot of reflection on this day. We have a lot wrong in this country. There are things happening now with which I totally disagree. But, it is still the greatest country on earth. The freedom we take for granted was paid for in full by the men and women who gave their all so this country can remain the greatest country on earth. To those men and women, I humbly say "thank you." Sure, this post is a day late to make note of Memorial Day. But, in my opinion, every day should be Memorial Day for those who made the ultimate sacrifice. God Bless America.
