Episode #007 Memorial Day Tribute

Join me and my guest Glenn Ledet as we discuss (briefly) the meaning of Memorial Day.
Men and women from this great country give years of their lives, and even their lives totally in order that you and I can enjoy
the fruits of our endeavors, without fear of negative or violent actions invading our cushy world.
This is not the case in many parts of the world.

Mostly we have a ton of music to help with those long drives, but we ask that you reflect...please...at some point this weekend.
Reflect in honor of those that gave it all for YOU. Even if you are in total disagreement with whatever policy, whatever administration has, that has nothing to do with this holiday at all. It is all about the Veterans, memorialize them, they have earned it.

THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
Here is a poem i got off line, anonymous author. It brought tears to my eyes as I read it on the podcast......

I Am A Soldier

I am a soldier.
My blood permeates the soil of many countries.

I have gasped my last breath on many a desolate
stretch of beach. For you...all of you, the children
who play in the parks, the mothers who watch over them,
 the fathers who struggle to sustain them.

There are those here who have belittled and reviled me,
who have made a mockery of me and what I stand for.
 You, also, have I suffered and died for.
I withstood heat, insects and disease
So the right to dissent would be yours.

I endured the pain and terror of battle and the maiming
of my body to ensure that you might worship as
you please. I died in agony in order that you,
no matter who or what you are,
Have the freedom to choose your own destinies.

AND I WOULD DO IT AGAIN
because I believe in the ideals that made this country
 what it is today... FREE.
 I love her with a deep and abiding love
 that transcends mere physical pain.

I AM A SOLDIER.
Pray that I will always be there,
for if I disappear from this country, so will you.
