This weekend is to honor and remember our fallen Military Men and Women…..We should take a minute everyday to think of the Men and Women who are serving now…..and every chance that comes along, Thank The Marine, The Soldier, As well As the ones serving in the Navy and Air Force. I believe for these great men and women, past and present, one day, one weekend, is not great enough for the unselfish bravery each and everyone holds.
My Point is, this isn’t the time and place to express our feelings about unpaid holidays, Presidents day/MLKjr day, trust me I completely agree…But this weekend is for our fallen and the ones who stood next to them………
God Bless them all, and Juan, God Bless and Thank You…..As well as to, my Papaw, my Brothers and my Husband
Have a safe and wonderful weekend

Folks, this weekend take time and effort to thank the veterans who served our country in the military. Shake there hand or say thanks for serving and take a moment of reflection of the ones who passed/died defending our freedoms,rights and our daily way of life.

I to served my country during the vietman war, although I did now see battle I still had to serve my country as all young men should. It was an honor and if I had to do it again, I would. God Bless this great nation of ours.

I wish congress would not enjoy helping us so much. I perfer to keep the holidays as they were intended, not so much as to please everyone. Keep the orginal days. Most of us do not get paid holidays anyways.

Umm Presidents day? I remember in the 70′s celebrating Lincoln’s Birthday and Washing’s Birthday in February. They were not combined into Presidents’ Day until MLKjr Day appeared in January.
