A Gladiator Honors His Fallen Heroes - Memorial Day 2009

To all of my Brothers and Sisters:

You have given us the greatest gift humanly possible, FREEDOM! I honor, thank, remember, and love you for all your sacrifices.

TAPS
by Major General Daniel Butterfield

Fading light dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar drawing nigh — Falls the night.

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky.
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Then good night, peaceful night,
Till the light of the dawn shineth bright,
God is near, do not fear — Friend, good night.

Here is the story of WWII Bataan Death March Survivor, Chief Warrant Officer Melvin H. Nesteby (USA-Ret.).Melvin passed away a few days ago, but left us this amazing video showing the passion that was in his heart for our country.

I would like to thank the Evergreen Freedom Foundation for sharing his story with the world on this Memorial Day, 2009.

Great Quotes

"It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who go into battle." ~Norman Schwarzkopf

"We pray and we resolve to keep holy the memory of those who have died for our country and to make thier cause inseparably our own." ~Ronald Reagan

"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal." ~From a headstone in Ireland

"I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day. I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did." ~Benjamin Harrison

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty." ~John F. Kennedy

Have a Profitable Honorable Day Everyone!
