Both my dad and grandfather died on Memorial Day. Dad was U.S. Army and Papaw was U.S. Airforce. Papaw was a battlefield medic stationed in Korea, sort of like the show M.A.S.H. if you ever saw it. Papaw was a wonderful man, I saw him save a man's life once after the man got in a car accident. The man had been drinking and driving, went off the road close to our house and struck two telephone poles. He had his arm hanging out the window when he lost control and one of the poles he struck just about ripped his arm off. Papaw rushed out there to help the man and was able to get most of the bleeding stopped because there was enough of the upper arm left to pinch off both those major arteries in it so the man wouldn't bleed to death before the ambulance got there. I remember Mamaw running back and forth to the house as Papaw barked out orders for her to get things for him. The man ended up surviving but lost the arm, he used to come visit my family every year for Thanksgiving before he moved off to Pennsylvania some years later; we still get a Christmas card from his wife, kids and grandkids every year. Papaw died on Memorial day in 1998. My Daddy was just as exceptional a man. He was a Captain in the U.S. Army Signal Corp. His command was attatched to a Hawk missile unit in Germany towards the end of the Cold War, He was responsible for maintaining UHF/VHF and microwave communications that supported the missile units. He was doing the same thing when the Persian Gulf War started except he did communications in support of Apache helicopters they had over there. My daddy was my hero and I miss him dearly, he died on Memorial day in 2019 from complications due to lung cancer. I'm just here to tell you all to give extra hugs and kisses to the ones that you hold dearest today, time passes by so fast and we hardly get to spend enough time with each other before we have to say goodbye. I love you all.

The Holy Bible is the official book on all things 'heaven'. And nowhere does it say people are up there. Only God, Christ and a very few prophets are up there yet. So the butterfly had to be God's sign that their loved one is sleeping soundly in God's mighty hand.

My dad was also a Veteran of WWII. He had such integrity that he refused a Purple Heart because he believed his actions when he was wounded he could have put others in harm. The person who ran towards him was carrying the pouch to put his Dog Tags in. He believed him to be dead. By God’s grace he was spared or there would not be a me, or our grandchildren. I miss you Daddy! ❤ Thank you for being my Dad! ❤

My dad was a Marine. I use to think they don't make men like my dad anymore. They do. Just few and far between. But anyone who served in war or peacetime are all heros to me. They didn't have to sign up and sacrifice a lot. Their safety and time with their family and friends. Just to protect a country that is unrecognizable at times. I remember the feeling of unity we had after September 11th. It's a shame it takes that or other disasters to truly unite us.

Here's a story, it's a positive one. My dad guarded the Berlin Wall in the 60s. And there was an East German solider that they kept waving at each other. Using a chalk board they talked for months and got each other's address. And were pen pals for years. But lost touch. If a USA army member and an East German can make friends we can all be friends.

Shared this particularly today when a candidate decided to make a sacred grave a photo op. This is not the families fault. It was done by someone who knew the rules and believed he was above them. That his staff felt so privilidge to shove around a woman official and call her hysterical by trying to enforce the rules. Perhaps there are Americans who have not truly embraced the hallowed ground of Arlington and all military cemeteries.

You go to the Normandy beaches today or even 40 years ago and you will meet tourists from all over the world. They might well remember their casualties but their most important sentimemt is: never again - we are one family. Koreans, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Iranians, Iraqis, Syrians, Argentinians, Chileans, Cubans, ..... wherever we have been at war since WWII express the same feelings. All these people do not need the kind of nationalism we in the US carry on our sleeves day in day out to justify our quite often criminal deeds.

In 1968, Charlie Company, a unit of the 11th Brigade, 20th Infantry, entered the village of My Lai in South Vietnam and systematically murdered the villagers. An estimated 500 Vietnamese, mostly women, children, and the elderly, died in the massacre. The brutality has been well documented: American soldiers raped, mutilated, and tortured the villagers before killing them; families were dragged from their homes, thrown into ditches and executed. Gruesome photos of the killings began to circulate in the public one and a half years later when journalists broke the story. In 1969, it sparked international outrage and fueled the antiwar movement. Fifty years later, “My Lai” has become synonymous with this dark chapter of the American war in Vietnam, and it continues to haunt and interrupt the nation’s attempt to remember the war in the service of reconciliation and closure.

The No Gun Ri massacre refers to an incident of mass killing of an undetermined number of South Korean refugees by U.S. soldiers of the 7th Cavalry Regiment under the command of General Hobart R. Gay, between 26 and 29 July 1950 at a railroad bridge near the village of Nogeun-ri, 100 miles (160 km) southeast of Seoul. In 2005, the South Korean government certified the names of 163 dead or missing (mostly women, children, and old men) and 55 wounded. It said that many other victims' names were not reported.[103] The South Korean government-funded No Gun Ri Peace Foundation estimated in 2011 that 250-300 were killed.[104] Over the years survivors' estimates of the dead have ranged from 300 to 500.
