Preparing for Memorial Day...

 
 
American's tend to forget what Memorial Day is all about.  The attached will help us all to remember, please forward and keep it going.
God Bless America !
 
MEMORIAL  DAY








 



















 

 
Keep it
moving, please, even if you've seen it before.
 
It is the
 
VETERAN
,
  not the preacher,  
  who has given us freedom of religion.

It is
the
VETERAN ,
  not the reporter,
  who has given us freedom of the press.

It is
the
VETERAN ,
  not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.

  

It is
the
VETERAN ,
not the campus organizer,
who has given us freedom to assemble.

   

It is
the
  VETERAN ,
  not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.


 

It is
the
VETERAN ,
  not the politician,
Who has given us the right to vote.
  

 
 


 
It is   
the VETERAN who
salutes the Flag,
 


 
 

It is
the
VETERAN
Who serves under the Flag, 


ETERNAL
REST GRANT THEM O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON
THEM.
  
 

 
 

I'd be EXTREMELY proud if this email reached as many as possible. We can be very proud of our young men and women in the service no matter where they serve.



 

God
Bless them all!!!

 
Makes you proud to be an AMERICAN!!!!!

@Phyllis RH-- Mom works in a spa. She gets pedicures free. However, the picture idea is pretty good. Thanks!

Mother's Day

I have a dilemma. It will soon be Mother's Day, and I'm clueless what to give my
mother other than a whole day of togetherness. I haven't been able to see her
much since my DH died, and part of my gift will be a day of "girl time."
However, I feel like I should give her at least a token gift.


She has too many cosmetics and perfumes because she works in a spa. She doesn't
like knickknacks because she's a minimalist when it comes to decor. Flowers and
plants won't do because she despises gardening with a passion. The only cliche
left is candy, and that's not a bad thought, but it is cliche.


I know, I could just give her a gift card and take her shopping, but it seems
like I didn't even try to find a good gift. While I personally love gift cards
so I can shop guilt-free, she's my Mom. I want to show her some love, even if my
budget is tighter than a virgin's ass. (sigh) Any ideas?


What would you like to get on Mother's Day?
