Memorial Day
Rememberances...
U.S. Veterans who gave their lives in military service to their country
.

It seems that many within our nation do not truly appreciate their freedom, nor commemorate on Memorial Day the men and women who died while in military service to our country. Surley they are unaware that more than 1,100,000 have given their lives in U.S. military service since our nation's birth. For those veterans who have fought and bled in military service... Memorial Day could never be…just another holiday.

For my veteran brothers who sometimes worry for our nation's way of life, and believe some things were and are worth fighting for…I would like to share a Memorial Day tribute of online Video Songs honoring and remembering American war veterans -- not the politicians' hollow words, but the music, lyrics, and images online that ring true a genuine love of country.

When you are ready, take some time to listen to and watch the online videos…these songs are in tribute to you…and in rememberance of those whom you cannot forget.

Welcome Home, and thank you sincerely for your service,
Don Poss
