Happy Memorial Day!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

Our cool friend Luke wrote a very special blog post and poem dedicated to all those who served in our armed forces (past & present). As patriotic Americans (and Isalys as a military wife), his message speaks volumes to us and we hope it does for you too!

Please take a moment just to read it and spare a thought to all those who serve us!

they fought in the air, they fought on the ground

they all kept their cool when the bullets rained down

brother to brother, they leaned on each other

ready to die for America our mother

they marched through the day, and bled through the night

from bluecoats on riverboats to those dry desert nights

was it left, was it right, now we won't get home tonight

and those caissons go rolling along

here's to the boys that made some noise

for all of the pains, and all of the joys

aren't we so lucky to be standing right here

we can never forget those in our rear view mirror

they prayed to their Gods, and wrote to their wives

setting their sites on the rest of their lives

dreams and intentions of white picket fences

with family and friends and rekindled romances

so here's a salute to the stars and the stripes

we owe it to all who have died for our right

maybe one day we'll learn from the sins of our past

to put down our guns, and all raise a glass

here's to the boys that made some noise

for all of the pains, and all of the joys

aren't we so lucky to be standing right here

we can never forget those in our rear view mirror

No matter what side of the political fence you're on, no matter your views or beliefs...we must take a moment to remember & bless all those who died for our freedoms and those who continue to fight for our future!

God Bless America!
