Salute your fallen loved one in the comments today.
I included a paragraph from my Memorial Day Salute 2013. To me, it still has meaning today.
It’s Friday morning, the beginning of the long awaited Memorial Day weekend. It’s a time for remembering those who died in active duty to our country. I want to mention my uncle who was a Marine (OO-RAH) during the Vietnam War. He stepped on a landmine when I was a senior in high school. I don’t have to tell the rest. I didn’t get to see him when he was shipped home or prior to burial. My parents wouldn’t allow it. Because of that, I sometimes imagine I’d see this legless man hunched on a street corner, and I’d recognize him after all the years. I’d bring him home with me. I guess that’s called denial—or crazy.
Thank you to the men and women who gave their lives defending our freedoms.
Readers and writers, salute your fallen loved one on this Memorial Day.
