To honor our military servicemen this Memorial Day weekend, we asked Trish Forant to write a guest post for the PimpMyNews blog. Trish is the president of http://www.emailourmilitary.com/ , a popular service that connects ordinary people like you and me, with members of our armed forces.
To remind others of the real meaning of Memorial Day, please share this post by clicking the envelope icon.
A big "THANKS" to the members of our armed forces, and "Thank You," Trish!
Here's Trish' post:
Throughout our history, we have been blessed by the courage and commitment of Americans who were willing to pay the price of their tomorrows. They have fought and died for our freedom, and have kept us sleeping secure each night in safety.
Every one of them, from all different backgrounds, races and religions, no matter what battlefield they died on, every one, helped to build this strong nation we love. I'm proud to be an American and I don't take my freedom for granted.
The great German poet, Goethe, said to his generation:
"What you have inherited from your fathers, earn over again for yourselves, or it will not be yours."
We inherited freedom. We seem unaware that freedom has to be remade, and re-earned in each generation of man. As you spend this Memorial Day weekend with your family and friends, remember those who came before you and paid the ultimate price, paving the way for the freedoms we enjoy.
Take a moment at 3:00 pm eastern today, Memorial Day, to pause for a National Moment of Remembrance.
If you'd like to thank a veteran, or connect with a military service member one on one, but don't know one personally, stop by the http://www.emailourmilitary.com/ projects page to learn how you can get involved.
