Memorial Day 2007

Hopefully, we all paid our respects today along with the BBQ and swimming pools. Its great to be an American, but we all have to take time out of our hustle and bustle to think about how we got here. The sacrifices our ancestors had to make in order to provide us with our special brand of freedom not seen anywhere else. How many articles have you read today that criticize our government? Never before the United States was around would the public have the liberty to speak against our leaders. We have massive infrastructure and superior social services for half of the cost compared to others. From 1945 to 2001 we lived undisturbed by foreign advances and were allowed to pick and choose our battles. On a day like today we must look past individual needs in order to view our common goal.
