	Hi Linda, Thanks for coming by and thanks for your kind Comments. Two of my first Cousins were in the Navy, one was on a Carrier and the other was a Submariner. Both made it back home safe and secure, thank the Lord. (Please Click Below For Some Special Music) When I'm Gone When I come to the end of my journey And I travel my last weary mile, Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned And remember only the smile. Forget unkind words I have spoken; Remember some good I have done. Forget that I ever had heartache And remember I've had loads of fun. Forget that I've stumbled and blundered And sometimes fell by the way. Remember I have fought some hard battles And won, ere the close of the day. Then forget to grieve for my going, I would not have you sad for a day, But in summer just gather some flowers And remember the place where I lay, And come in the shade of evening When the sun paints the sky in the west Stand for a few moments beside me And remember only my best. - Mrs. Lyman Hancock May Our Lord Bless & Keep You My Friend, Phil

	Hi Myrna, Thanks for visiting my Friend and thanks for the reminder of the PBS Program. I never forget it, it's always a highlight of my Memorial Day. I'm hope everyone gets a chance to see it. (Please Click Below) Freedom Is Not Free I watched the flag pass by one day. It fluttered in the breeze. A young Marine saluted it, and then he stood at ease. I looked at him in uniform So young, so tall, so proud, He'd stand out in any crowd. I thought how many men like him Had fallen through the years. How many died on foreign soil? How many mothers' tears? How many pilots' planes shot down? How many died at sea? How many foxholes were soldiers' graves? No, freedom isn't free. I heard the sound of TAPS one night, When everything was still I listened to the bugler play And felt a sudden chill. I wondered just how many times That TAPS had meant "Amen," When a flag had draped a coffin Of a brother or a friend. I thought of all the children, Of the mothers and the wives, Of fathers, sons and husbands With interrupted lives. I thought about a graveyard At the bottom of the sea Of unmarked graves in Arlington. No, freedom isn't free. Have A Blessed & Happy Memorial Day My Dear Friend, Phil

	Hi Phil, Thanks for a wonderful thread. All those that served and especially those that gave their lives for their country deserve our respect, admiration and thanks for all they did out of love of country and patriotism. I served 4 years in the U.S.A.F. during the Vietnam War. Shalom, Peter I thought the poem is great and deserves to be read again and again. Freedom Is Not Free I watched the flag pass by one day.
