The Diamond photo, that came up under the You might also like, took me back to that year and to Memorial Day there. So many memories for us Americans of that infamous day in December. So many lives lost in so many wars. It seems the world is a history of war. Always one somewhere. I pause often and think about those who have died to preserve our freedoms.<br /><br />Good post.<br /><br />p.s. I just saw your comment on Twitter. I still don't know how to use Twitter completely, but I go in once a day to find useful or interesting links, and connect with friends.<br /><a href="http://annbest-jen.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"><i>Ann Best, Memoir Author</i></a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240022922254733667.post-67094015196438796752011-05-31T15:19:17.770-10:002011-05-31T15:19:17.770-10:00Thank you all for your comments about Memorial Day...Thank you all for your comments about Memorial Day.

I have mixed feelings about the date. Since I work, having it with a weekend makes it much nicer, but the real date may have more meaning.Ellis Vidlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918353154644739285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240022922254733667.post-46681983083186502312011-05-28T00:31:02.170-10:002011-05-28T00:31:02.170-10:00Have a great memorial week-end!Have a great memorial week-end!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04218651886143284455noreply@blogger.com
