Today is Memorial Day and the housekeeper and I were looking around the photos and graphics we've collected over the years and came across a few featuring our own stars and stripes. One had me with a peace sign on my collar and there was another which featured a political statement. I didn't want to use either one.
Here is my favorite, paws down of me sleeping on a rather old colonial version of our flag when our population wasn't all that big and our war casualties hadn't added up quite so much.
Prompting this thought I want to share.
I looked up this guy and he's a Scottish journalist. I respect his comment and find it's so very true.
To all who have given the ultimate sacrifice and to those whose memories confirm Mr. Massie's sentiment, we send our prayers and our thanks.
Have a blessed Memorial Day.
Tom
We honor those who've made the ultimate sacrifice, for our country and for its citizens.

Pawsome post and I commend you for not using the "happy" word. Love the image of you on the old flag. After all, we were an original colony.
ReplyDeleteHappy Memorial Day, friends!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of you and that quote is so true.
ReplyDeleteThat was such a nice post. We will always remember our heroes.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this special post, Tom. We are so very grateful for the veterans - human and animal - who gave their all for all of us.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a true quote.
