These new policies would create an absolute priority for treating our veterans and their families with respect, honor, dignity and the admiration that they deserve. These people gave their lives, mind and limbs in the service of our country, defending our cherished freedoms. The current VA programs are an egregious affront to these individuals and an abysmal travesty.Perfect Poker Profit Pointershttp://perfectpokerprofitpointers.fastprofitpages.com/?id=jdmnet30noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-43145580745099546442011-05-30T05:13:06.664-04:002011-05-30T05:13:06.664-04:00What a wonderful tribute to all our fallen and ser...What a wonderful tribute to all our fallen and serving military.

Move leaves, twigs and rocks off graves, have a glass of wine, generally settle down among the dead and commune. It was about remembering, but not about war necessarily. <br /><br />I wish, now, that I was not so far away from the grave sites that mean the most to me. And yet, I'm happy to go downtown and clean up an unknown grave while celebrating their life. I'm rambling, but that's what Memorial Day means to me and my family.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730716060906158244noreply@blogger.com
