Memorial Day

[Sephiroth781]

Here in the States, this is the day we pay homage to those who fought (and in many cases died) to preserve our freedom and our way of life. Without them we'd still be a British Colony or a broken country under terrorist rule, or all speaking German.

I know many of you believe that the current conflicts were started for the wrong reasons. I'm not disagreeing or agreeing with you on any of those points. It is not the politicians who we owe our freedoms to, it is the people who's blood made it possible.

I am not an uber patriot... but I am an American. This year I was compelled to write something, so here it is.
