CANDLELIT CHRONICLES: HISTORIC HAUNTS

May 31_Memorial Day_U.S. 165 wc

Today is Memorial Day in the U.S., the day when many visit the final resting places of loved ones and in which we all are called upon to commemmorate those who have died in the cause of Freedom, whenever and wherever (in time and in geographic locale). Sadly, in whatever War or Conflict, there are always too many lost, both military and civilians.


I experienced an intriguing version of this yesterday evening on Facebook: a Canadian gentleman posted a status message honoring Canadian soldiers. It was well-written and articulate, and I offered to repost with credit to him. I did so, and he responded to tell me that he himself had served 11 years in the Canadian reserves, was a third-generation Canadian military, and is considering moving to the States to enlist!


Now, that is dedication.





No free read today: instead, let us remember all those who have perished to keep us free, not just in the States, but throughout the world.

May Freedom Ring!
