America owes a debt of gratitude to all those who have served in our Armed Forces. On Memorial Day, we remember those who have served in previous wars, those who are serving today, and those who did not live to become veterans. The Reason We have a free press and the free speech rights is because so many were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.
On this Memorial Day, Greenwich Roundup urge every Blogger, Citizen Journalist and Mainstream Corporate Journalist in and around Greenwich to take time to thank one of our Nation’s 24 million veterans.
They come from different generations and different backgrounds.
But they are united by a commitment to honor, duty, and love of country that has kept America free. They continue to strengthen and inspire our Nation. And we should never, never, ever forget what we owe them.
Today's Featured Blog Post:
I'm all for enjoying Memorial Day - the Indy 500, baseball, picnics, hot dogs, burgers, beer, and even shopping and sales.I will surely partake in some of this, particularly some eats, and perhaps hang out on a beach or in a park.
I will also attend the annual Memorial Day parade in Fairfield, CT.And I will definitely take a moment somewhere during the day to remember our fallen veterans.
I ask all the readers of Exit 55 to do the same. Don't be maudlin or fake. "Bandwagon patriotism" drives me insane. So just pause somewhere and remember them. Chances are, you know somebody who died in the service. Honor them.
Then play Springsteen's "Born to Run" and carry on.
