This day is to remember our fallen heroes and those who have survived the remainder of the injustices of wars, and why they fought for us.
“As Dr. Fears points out, there are basically three types of freedom: national, individual, and political.
National freedom is the independence of a political state—freedom from occupation or other foreign control.
Political freedom is the right of citizens of a political state to participate in government (through voting or acting as a representative) and to have a fair trial.
Individual freedom is the freedom to do and say what you will so long as you don’t hurt anyone—freedom of speech, assembly, religion, freedom to choose where you live or what job you do or don’t do, freedom to make money and spend it as you please.”
A thank you to the historic present wordpress, here is the site to copy and paste:

The reasoning of why we must hold this day in utmost reverence is due to what is written above, and the fact that more than ever that now we have an all volunteer armed services. That is not to say that those who were drafted for all those other wars and non-declared wars and all other political conflicts that caused our involvement and losses of too many of our peoples…so all the rest of us could celebrate them and our freedom to have grills of nouveau healthy cuisines, or old fashioned not so healthy but traditional ones… whatever your way to commemorate this day and the others coming up, Flag Day, June 14th, and The Fourth of July, Veterans Day, the eleventh of November, always take a moment to confirm the why we do what we do, okay?
Yes, we celebrate these memorial days with barbecues and fun games and water sports, and even fireworks for many, tis the season here in these United States, but again, if it were not for the ones who preserved all of that for us to have that ability, this day would never ever be needed to remember what they have done unselfishly for all of us.
Although, not a day goes by that we Americans are NOT proud of where we live and all that we have to be happy about and that is such a nice feeling… like we say if you can read this thank a teacher, if you have the right to read this thank someone in our military!
On that note of noteworthy respect for all, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you to count all of your blessings and share your overages and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square ya hear?

Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
