Memorial Day

KanCrav

I shared this in a thread I am part of but I wanted to share it with everyone else. I understand that it has nothing to do with weightloss but it is important to me, so thank you for reading. !~!


On a more serious note..... please dont forget that this is Memorial Day weekend. Dont forget what it stands for. Think of the mother who lost her son in the battlefield. Think of the wife whose husband has gone to war. As military a military spouse I see a side of the military I never knew existed. I now understand the heart break it causes to know your soldier is in danger and knowing that He (or she) is the kind of man that will do anything he can to save his friend. All to often it is the guy that doesn't think about himself that doesn't come home. The soldier that never took an extra second hoping that someone else would volunteer to go in first. They are all heros, but this weekend we need to rememeber the Soldiers and military personel that didnt make it back.

If you need motivation to workout this weekend..... go do a 5k in memory of a Hero.


Cover them over with beautiful flowers,
Deck them with garlands, those brothers of ours,
Lying so silent by night and by day
Sleeping the years of their manhood away.
Give them the meed they have won in the past;
Give them the honors their future forcast;
Give them the chaplets they won in the strife;
Give them the laurels they lost with their life.
