Memorial day flags graves cemetery
Bigstock

I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day. I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did.

– Benjamin Harrison

    • Six months prior I misplaced my work and after that I was blessed sufficient to falter upon a extraordinary site which truly spared me. I begun working for them online and in a brief time after I’ve begun averaging 15k a month… The finest thing was that cause I am not that computer smart all I required was a few essential writing aptitudes and web get to to begin.

      • If I make any more money I’ll lose what little food stamps I get.
        People died so that I might have the freedom to get food stamps. Without food stamps I wouldn’t have left over from my welfare check to buy street drugs and your trying to take that away from me with your job offers. This is America buddy, nobody works when they can get it for free.

      • You have way more problems than just being “NOT that computer smart” you are borderline illiterate so it’s a damn good thing you lucked into a deal where even an idiot like you can make money and stay off of welfare and food stamps, good luck with that… Not for me though, I couldn’t afford the cut in income…

  2. “We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence; on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which as conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly-knit highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.”

  4. God Bless the Men and Women who sacrificed all for our country. I hope we can make sure it wasn’t for nothing. I hope we don’t succumb to the communist socialist agenda.

    • Awaiting Moderation because so cial ist, commun ist agenda. It’s already fucking happening.

        • Southern,

          But with the help of TTAG and its editors, it WILL be “moderated”. The TTAG “moderation” “policy” is a sick joke. At this point, I only come here to mock MajorLiar and dacian the demented (and get occasional pearls of wisdom from our more witty and/or erudite commenters). Their “moderation” “policy” sucks greasy puppydog nuts.

  6. Spent the day yesterday riding and getting ready to head to the Gulf Coast this morning surprisingly for the first time I can recall no one has said “happy” Memorial Day, never could figure out how anyone could conflate a day of honoring those who have passed as being a “happy” day… So, are THEY finally getting it or did I just not come in contact with THEM…

  7. My uncle and a crewmate rest in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Hawaii.

  8. Raise your prayers of unutterable groanings to Heaven.
    Raise your joy of unutterable awe.
    Raise your gratitude to those who have fallen for you.
    Rally around truth with a deafening roar.

    • GOD bless the fallen&America.. I have an uncle who died of aftereffects from WW I.

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

    • I do thank God that they lived and I mourn their sacrifice. And we all know what General Patton meant. Thank You my Lord for providing the men and women that were your instruments in victory.

  10. There comes a time when people will have to kill inorder to keep themselves free. And it’s always a small class of warriors who will do the fighting and the dying.

    Unfortunately the people who are anti-liberty have been working to undermine the Warrior class in our society. And to undermine everything that has worked to build, and keep that Warrior class sustained.

    • A great fictional illustration of this was done in the TV series “Babylon 5”. Where the Membari race, their society was made up two groups. Warriors and intellectuals.
      And it was the intellectuals who sent the Warriors off to fight and die. Sometimes foolishly and unnecessarily.

      • Minbari; three castes: warrior, religious, and worker.

        The Grey Council was made up of three representatives of each caste, and they decided whether or not to go to war.

        The Minbari were never defeated in battle.

        • Chris, I heard it’s streaming on Tubi. I re-watched the series a few years back when it was on Amazon Prime — I’m going to be watching it all over again. It’s one of the best sci-fi series ever, but it’s not for the casual viewer.

    • It takes a nation of tax paying laborers to keep those warriors supplied.
      Thank you for your service Working Class Hero.
      BTW gringcarders dont pay fed taxes and working illegals pay none.
      The Future is bright.

        • Well then huh, I passed out the payrolls for a company and wondered why a few of the employees made more then the citizens when they were getting paid less. State taxes deductions no federal was the reason.
          Maybe my boss was cheating.
          Uh yeah that’s it.

        • possum, maybe somebody was cheating. Sure does piss off the wife, who jumped through all of the legal hoops to be here. We even had to hire an immigration attorney or she was going to be deported before we were married.

  11. eeleegal ayleeans should have to serve in our military before being allowed to stay. ” A rey cist would say!”

    • Ummmm H ell NO. You do not give essential tasks to nonstakeholders. Depending on mercs to protect you is a nogo (one of the reasons Rome fell).

      If your society can not undertake it’s own self defense then it deserves to fall (as individuals and the 2nd).
