Long Live the USA! And Long Live the Memory of Those Who Died for Our Country!

Memorial Day 2010. The Indy 500. Baseball Season. The Beginning of Summer. Bar B Que. Which will we remember the most? Or maybe I shouldn’t ask. Bar B Que is an American craving. Maybe it’s simply more important for us to continue giving and receiving all those messages that remind us of what Memorial Day is supposed to mean to our American way of life each year.

We need to remember all the brave men and women who have  surrendered their lives for our country. We need to remember them everyday – but especially on this day – Memorial Day of 2010 and forever.

Happy Memorial Day, Everybody! When you you sink a salivating bite into some Bar B Que today. Just remember who made it all possible, but also remember the even more important items on our plates that their brave actions have secured for us as no other nation has ever enjoyed them:

Freedom of Thought and Movement, Respect for Human Rights, Scientific Advancement, Creative Artistry, Literature, and Athletic Accomplishment, yes, these and all other worthy expenditures of human energy are all the fruits that grow best in the constitutional sunlight of an open society – but these qualities, alone or together, don’t come without a price. Without the supreme sacrifices our military people have paid from the start, no one else in America has pockets deep enough to pick up the tab on what it’s all worth to the rest of us.

Pour that thought on your Bar B Que today too, folks. It’ll taste better. I guarantee it.
