On Memorial Day Remember Those Who Gave Their Lives To Protect America

It is okay to go eat a hot dog this week. And there is no issue with zooming around on the lake or sipping cold beers on the beach this Memorial Day weekend. However, these activities are not the reason for Memorial Day, and allowing this fact to be forgotten is something patriotic Americans have been fearful of for some time.

Our ability to relax and enjoy the extra time off is directly to honor those who died fighting to protect our freedom throughout our nation’s history. Their sacrifice paid for the fact that we have that day to honor our war-dead

May 28th is Memorial Day; it was called Decoration Day. Remember what it’s all about. Memorial Day is a holiday that means so much more than hot dogs, parades, and the start of the summer. Not that those things are bad, but it isn’t Memorial Day unless we remember what the day is really about—honoring the people who laid down their lives to save our families and to protect the land of the free. Keep in mind. Memorial Day honors those who were killed while serving in our nation’s military, not all veterans. They are honored on November 11th.

Hmmm. Perhaps the name Killer Whale should mean something. ........an unthinkable attack that nobody saw coming.

Keto the killer whale ravaged his trainer in an unthinkable attack that nobody saw coming.

Alexis Martínez., 29, had worked with orcas for several years and was used to handling the whales but on Christmas Eve, 2009, Keto acted in a way that had never been seen by his trainers before.

I will take that chance.......

Today’s Blacklisted American: To celebrate Memorial Day, a federal official bans the American flag

In another example of the fundamental hostility that federal officials feel for their country, officials at Alaska’s Denali National Park recently told contractors working in the park they were forbidden from flying Old Glory on their trucks and equipment, as construction workers have done for more than a century.

According to the contractor, Denali National Park Superintendent Brooke Merrell contacted the man overseeing the federal highways project, claiming there had been complaints about the U.S. flags, and notifying him that bridge workers must stop flying the stars and strips from their vehicles because it detracts from the “park experience.”

“The trucks are flying these American flags, about a foot atop the trucks, about three-foot by four-foot flags, and they said they don’t want this,” the contractor explained. “They’re saying it isn’t conducive and it doesn’t fit the park experience.”

Up until this week, however, the flags were displayed without incident. It was only when the park began running tour buses that the order was given to take down the flags, he added
