An American Weekend
May. 25th, 2009 09:21 pmI watched a lot of American-themed movies this weekend. Not on purpose, at first. And none were about the military - only they did reference in repetition, some of them, the freedoms that those men and women defended and continue to defend. Reveled in the liberties we all, at least should, cherish.
I've read a lot of tributes, and spent a lot of time remembering, as this day calls us to, over the weekend and throughout the day.
I know that it's the end of the day, but if you can spare 10 minutes to listen to this tribute, I think you'd be well served. It's the one of the best ones that I've found, in my opinion, and one of the few that are actually online. Plus you don't have to read this one; it can just play it in the background.
It's a secure site that this links to; just press open, and it'll start playing automatically. No need to save it --unless you want to, of course.
Just as a warning, though: If you let yourself get caught up in his fictional story, you may cry like I did. :)

Do you stop to thank them when you see them? They do so much for us, and I know they're baffled when you do thank them because most people don't. All the more reason why you should. :) They're friendly people, honorable people; nothing scary about them, and I can tell you that they do appreciate it however awkward it may be at first.
It's the least we can do for them who sacrificed their time, time with their families, and lost their friends who were as close as brothers or even closer. Today is the day we're supposed to remember those fallen, all of them, every one of them for what they did for us.
If you haven't read a tribute today, I encourage you to listen to the one above. Not because of who did it, but because of what he said in it. It's simple and easy, and it will only take 10 minutes of your day. :)
May God continue to bless America and be with the families of our fallen heroes.
