I want to extend the hope of a meaningful and pleasant Memorial Day to all the US Pixies. On this reflective holiday, the citizens of every country are remembered, who stood up for their nation and fell for their people.

less we forget (what we say on anzac day)

I was able to be at a place yesterday where I saw several men (ages from early 20's - mid 40's) who are currently in the military and were dressed in full uniform with medals and bars and everything ... it was a very visual reminder of the service that has been given by them and so many others ... some who are still with us and so many who are not .... it is always a poignant reminder and deeply appreciated .... thanks pf for taking the time to say it as well!

America the Beautiful

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!

America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness.

America! America!
God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.

Heartfelt thanks to all who have served or are currently serving their country.

The cookouts are because of Memorial Day; we don't celebrate Memorial Day so that we may have cookouts.
