Please remember what this weekend means. It is about freedom and what it takes to keep it.

Even though I am not American , I always personally honor Memorial Day.
My father spent 5 + years overseas with the Hastings Prince Edward Regiment.
He came home a shadow of himself, destined to suffer from PTSD for the rest of his life.

Thanks to Dad and all those Americans who fought for freedom.

I'm actually named after an uncle who did not come back from the war. He was shot down over Germany. My brother and I grew up with a large picture of him in our bedroom. My mother had all of my dad's letters from when he was off at war -- you can see where the military censor actually cut with scissors portions of the letters that might lead some to know where he was, though she already did -- and he is reassuring her, telling her that many of the guys that went down got picked up by rescue teams. He left a young widow and child behind. She never remarried. Very difficult times.

God bless all those who gave up their lives to fight for our freedoms. Some gave up their lives altogether, and some sacrificed the ability to ever live a normal life again.
