Remember Our Troops on Memorial Day

Remember Our Troops on Memorial Day The precedent which eventually morphed into the holiday which we know as memorial day began on May 5th 1868. It began as a day of honoring the Civil War dead by placing flowers on their graves. It was began by the head of the Organization of Union Veterans. A national holiday to honor those who have given their lives in the service of this country is totally appropriate. If there is never another American killed in another military conflict anywhere on this earth we still can not give enough honor those who have given all.

Almost every serviceman or woman killed in the service of this country was a young adult with a full life ahead of them. They did not have the opportunity to live and die a quiet death at an old age. they missed many warm summers, special moments with loved ones, hot home cooked meals, and warm embraces in the arms of loved ones because they gave their lives for you and me.

Those who gave their lives all gave it in some foriegn country in the most jacked up conditions that you can imagine. They were hungry, tired, fearful, and dirty. They died in the worst physical and psychological circumstances that you could possibly imagine. Many of them died while suffering the most excruciating pain that you can imagine. The last image which their eyes saw was not their loved ones and family members but the horror and carnage of combat. We honor you our military ring customers both dead and alive and we want you to know it.
