Remember the Reason
« on: May 24, 2009, 08:13:02 AM »
I have a favor to ask of all the sly brothers.   As you enter into the Memorial Holiday, please remember to take a moment to think about the reason for this holiday and think of those who served and sacrificed for our land.    And since we are an international forum, let's remember those who gave their lives, regardless of their nation of origin.  Thanks

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
And at the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them, we WILL remember them.

AMEN
If you always do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always got!

Absolutely, Paul. The sacrificies of others get too easily overlooked in the hustle of a three-day weekend. Thanks for the reminder. And for your service.

Great reminder!
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.
