The Long Hair Community - The Presidential Proclamation for Memorial Day

leonardiane · May 26th, 2003, 08:52 AM

"Every Memorial Day, Americans remember the debt of gratitude we owe to our veterans who gave their lives for our country. On this important day, communities across our Nation stop to remember and to honor the great sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform.

Since its beginnings, our country has faced many threats that have tested its courage. From war-torn battlefields and jungle skirmishes to conflicts at sea and air attacks, generations of brave men and women have fought and died to defeat tyranny and protect our democracy. Their sacrifices have made this Nation strong and our world a better place."
--George W. Bush

**No intentions whatsoever to start a "war" on the boards but please take a moment to remember those that fought and died for our freedom here in America. Thank you for taking the time to remember those that have died.

I, too, will remember our brave fighting men and women who died to make our country free, and to protect not only the rights of our own people, but for the oppressed in other lands. They paid the ultimate sacrifice for a priceless cause.

Thank you for reminding us, Leo!
