Meorial Day

[HOLLYWOOD]

today is the all american hollywood brother day known as memorial day. what the hollywood brother would like is for all of us to raise our beer in a toast to those who have died to save us or to protect our way of life.

The hollywood brother also propses a toast to memorial day because it means that summer is on and it time to rock and roll hollywood brother style if you can smell what the hollywood brother is cooking

Memorial Day is a day to remember and honor every American who gave the ultimate sacrifice while in service to our nation. I am a Vietnam Era Veteran who served in the Army and proudly wore the uniform of this country from 1970 to 1973. I take offense to the fact that HOLLYWOODBROTHER has chosen to refer to it in the term he did as well as the fact that he has chosen to use Memorial Day as a personal springboard to the start of summer and two of the major activities associated with it.

Note to Camel26:
My Dad served in the Army during WW II and he too was wounded in action and was awarded a Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. Like your Grandfather he also helped liberate a Concentration Camp and saw things that were so horrible that he has never spoken about most of them. As a veteran I honor the memory of your Grandfather and his service to our country during WW II.

My thanks to each and every one of the Men and Women who serve in the Armed Forces.

My grandfather was a Lieutenant in WW2, and received 2 purple hearts, and 2 bronze stars for his efforts, along with a myriad of other accolades...he helped liberate concentration camps...watched many of his friends die...almost got killed himself...

Now, with many of my friends overseas in Iraq fighting, more than ever, today has a great deal of significance for me...

I miss my grandfather and will be thinking of him all day...and I will be praying for the safe, and speedy return of all of our soldiers...

A peaceful Memorial Day to all!

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

for many people this holiday means different things. If you know someone who has fought in a war then it is a very holy day for you. The hollywood brother understands this and thinks that everyone should take time to honor the great women and men who have fought for our country and our way of life.

Now for others the holiday means the start of the summer season. Where the hollywood brother works, there is a big drop off of business as many americans go to the beaches and to vacation destinations. for other americans like those who live down the new jersey shore area for instance, this holiday is the start of money making season.

For the hollywood brother it is the start of summer. The hollywood brother like to do all maerican things on this holiday weekend like watch his Phillies play baseball, eat some bbq, drink some beer, go to wildwood, and have fun. The reason why the hollywood brother likes this si because it is the hollywood brother american way of life. Now this gets back to the original meaning of the holiday. You see by the hollywood brother doing some great all american things, the hollywood brother honors those who have passed because while the hollywood brother is tickling or working on his hollywood brother tan, he never ever forgets the people who died so that the hollywood brother can rock and roll hollywood brother style.

to those that take offense to what the hollywood brother says, this is fine and dandy. it is your right to disagree. That is what makes america great and that is why the all american hollywood brother loves america! We can easily disagree but thanks to the men and women who have fought over the years, we havethe right to be here today to argue about what to do on this great holiday

I never met my grandfather on my mom's side, he died in a helicoptor crash in 'Nam. I can't wait to see him someday🙂

Also, I thought I'd propose this toast: "Here's to all the soldiers who have ever died in vain" It's a line from one of my fav songs, "Ships that Don't Come In" 🙂

Many people of my family died in the two world wars, but we don't have any memorial days to think about our dead soldiers. 🙁

But I think we need more memorial days for the civilian victims of wars, children, women and seniors who were killed by bombs and massacres. If we all would have peaceful governments, we wouldn't need soliders.

Hope there will be no new war in Iran which would kill tens of thousands innocent people.

A peaceful memorial day to all Americans 😉

Happy Memorial Day and a special thanks to all members of the services, and all innocents that have given their lives and limbs in the cause of war.

To all the comrades of the patients I treat in the VA (Veteran's Administration) system, their families, their buuddies in arms

To my Dad, who served in 'the forgotten war" ( Korea).

To all who gave the ulitmate sacrifice...

No man can do greater than this, but to lay down his life for his friend...

We honor your memory, your life, and your sacrifice so that we could remain what all who come here desire to be....
