Memorial Day Weekend is upon us… This year Memorial Day  is more than a weekend holiday.  It means more this year..  My son returned home from Aghganistan last month, He came home alive, he came home with his arms and legs, He came HOME.  He served in the most violent area of Aghganistan and 60% of his squad did not make it back Home to their Mom’s. My heart breaks, aches, weeps and grieves for those Moms, wives, children and Dad’s!  I can feel the sorrow well up in my throat and eyes at the pain they live through daily. The pain also in their Military Brothers and Sisters hearts.  The ones they served with feel the cut of greif as well   I cannot tell you exactly thier feeling, because we don’t know unless we have served side by side in the battlefields with them.  I do know they served thier country with Honor, Courage, Pride and Determination to get the job Done.  What Honorable men and Women serve this country, this world.  Where ever they go and what ever they do they serve with Honor and Courage.  Courage beyond our imaginations. So this Memorial Day I will spend it with family poolside, at a BBQ, saying goodbye to family moving far, far way; but with my heart praying for those left in greif this year, and enjoying the freedom to swim, BBQ, Pray, Play and Love because of those who have given their lives for it.Remember those this year keep them in your mind as you play with your families and kiss your Babies and say a prayer for the families that have sacrificed a loved one this year. Give to the Wounded Warriors Project in Honor of those that have served you well.

This Blog dedicated to the 3/5 Darkhorse who served with passion and sacrificed MUCH!   Love to you ALL, A Marine Mom
