This Memorial Day please take some time to reflect & remember those that have served abroad & at home. Keep in memory those that have made the ultimate sacrifice, the veterans & those currently serving. Please just say a prayer for all of them.
Do you realize there is only one surviving World War I veteran alive? The number of WW II vets are dwindling fast.

This you have to see; get ready to shed a tear.



John Ondrasik (the singer-songwriter who is Five for Fighting) is one of the most pro-GI people in pop music. And in this video, it shows. You may have heard the song before but this video is new.

In the beginning, he goes into a pawn shop to pawn a flag... the pawnbroker is in his sixties, and over his shoulder you see a photo of a young Vietnam era warrant officer with aviator wings and the MOH.

Yes, that's really a Medal of Honor recipient in the video, not an actor.

                                                                  Red, White, and Blue are Her colors
                                                                      Colors both brilliant and clear
                                                                  Colors with far deeper meaning than that at first may appear.

                                                                  Red is for the Blood of Patriots who have died to free us
                                                                      White is for Justice, Government, and Law
                                                                  Blue is for Honor and Peace in all we do.

                                                                  This is my Flag, this is Old Glory
                                                                        The Red, White, and Blue.
