Memorial Day Kudos

Frankie:
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service.
It was first promoted in May 1868, 3 years after the Civil War. I think in the neighbor hood of 650,000 died in that war. It's easy to understand that thinking, a gruesome war!
It seems that many look at it as a three day week end with little thought of why  & there's history in our country.
Only one disc golfer I know is a veteran. What I'd like to see, dead or alive, is a parent, uncle, friend, to show appreciation for their service by mentioning their name. I think it would be nice to honor them.
Remember, freedom is not free!

Thor:
