Those Who Have Served Us<\/strong><\/p>\n

The month of May always brings for me the memory of my mother collecting flowers to take to the cemetery on Memorial Day. Today we note Memorial Day more often for it parades and its retail store sales. Going to the cemetery has lost some of its prominence for our families in part because many of us live some distance from the graves of our departed family members.<\/p>\n

Somehow it just seems right about this time of the year to remember those who have served us by defending our country. I have been collecting a list of names of those who served in the various wars and while I can not guarantee that it includes all family members, it does give us an opportunity to see how many men and women have given a part of their lives for us. If you know of others I need to add to my list, please let me know.<\/p>\n
