Memorial Day

Memorial Day

Memorial day, the "official start" of summer and a typically happy day to get out meet friends and celebrate with a barbecue or a day at the beach. Of course everyone knows the real meaning of Memorial Day is a holiday set aside to remember the men and women who lost their lives while serving in the armed services. 

I hope that this Memorial Day each and everyone of us take the time to really think about these men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can be happy and secure in our homes, out enjoying the sunny weather and sharing a meal with family and friends. 

Maybe this weekend we could do one or ore of the following:

1. Fly your flag and support the troops.

2. Go the the local Memorial Day parade or Memorial to the soldiers in your town and leave flowers to show your support. 

3. If you see any soldiers while traveling, walk up and shake their hand and thank them for all their hard work and sacrifices. 

4. Go to a site, like Anysoldier.com or Operationgratitude.com and pick a soldier to send a care package to.

5. Donate your time to Wounded Warrior Project.

6. If you know a family that has lost a loved one let them know that you care. Even though it may seem awkward or a painful everyone wants to know that their loved one is remembered and loved.

7. Listen to their stories. 

8. Volunteer your time or goods to the USO. Most airports and military bases have USO facilities where soldiers and their families can "have their spirits lifted." 

9. Vist the VA.

10. There are a million ways to say thank you we all just have to make the effort to do it.

I know many do not support military intervention and I am not here to talk about that or to preach. I simply want to remember all of those men and women who are away from home and family and doing whatever it takes to keep us safe and sound. As the saying goes, "freedom isn't free." it costs time away from family, and friends, loss of limbs and life. 

On that note, to all of my friends and family and those soldiers I do not personally know, who have served or are currently in the US military I thank you for your sacrifice. My thoughts and prayers and with you and your family. 

Have a nice day!

Memorial Day Musings

Good morning! I hope that you are enjoying a safe holiday weekend and taking advantage of all of the beautiful parks, trails, and camp grounds in Wisconsin. 

Please take a moments today to remember those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom. 

"It is foolish to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."

We will never forget you or your sacrifice.

In addition to all of the fun this weekend at picnics, the beach, barbeques and more lets remember those that lost their lives protecting the United States of America. 

Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend, be safe and have fun. 

Memorial Day

Although many consider Memorial Day as the start of Summer it is obviously much more than that. Stallion Leather would like to thank the members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and the Coast Guard for their service and sacrifice to the country. As well we would like to thank their families for all of the time that they have lost while their loved ones serve the country.

To all of the current members of the Armed Forces and the ones who have paid the ulitmate sacrife, we salute you!

We will never forget!

Celebrating the US Military

Saturday, May 19th was Armed Forces Day, a day set aside by President Truman for the citizens of the United States to thank all the branches of our military for their service and support of the USA.

In honor of the military and the upcoming Memorial Day weekend I think in addition to the barbeque's and the camping trips we need to let the military know that we care about their sacrifice.

Let us take a minute to remember those who have sacrificed their lives for us, as well as those that have returned home injured, and those who continue to sacrifice so that we can enjoy all the freedoms the good old USA has to offer!
