Just wanted to remind everyone that today is Memorial Day, and to remember what the day is really about. "How often do you here someone remembering our freedom and the lives that were lost giving freedom so generously to us?"

The Gunners Dream by Roger Waters
Floating down through the clouds
memories come rushing up to meet me now
in the space between the heavens
and in the corner of some foreign field
I had a dream
I had a dream
goodbye Max
goodbye ma
after the service when you're walking slowly to the car
and the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
you hear the tolling bell
and touch the silk in your lapel
and as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band
you take her frail hand
and hold on to the dream

We just got home from a memorial ride, 8,000 motorcycles (Mostly Harley's) started at a local dealer then paraded to the national Cemetary where we participated in the Memorial day ceremonies. Every bike had atleast 1 flag on it. Simply a very humbling day spent in the memory of those that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.
May they all rest in peace

MacR... Amen Brother!
Here in Los Angeles, there were several T.V. reporters on the ground and helicopters in the air. We were led by a U.S. Army helicopter all the way to the cemetery.
Zaph... great article... Thanks, i needed it after reading most of the other articles on the site today. I just went off in another thread titled "A tribute to our soldiers".
