No one cares this is the anniversary?

Albert, thank you. My father served in the Pacific during WWII. I will always remember that. On a side note I also remember Ronald Reagan in 1984 giving his Memorial over in Normandy on June 6th, the 40th anniversy of D-Day. In it he stated, we will not forget. A great man died on the 60th anniverary of D-Day. We will not forget.

My original response to this thread came back when Albert posted it in 2004. Much has changed since then. One of my sons joined the Marine Corp (Semper Fi) and my daughter joined the Army National Guard. As a 51 year old father that grew up in the end of the Korean War and the whole Vietnam conflict it got me to thinking. My oldest son gave me the book by Kurt Vonegut called "A Man Without a Country" which is sort of a put a pen to the paper and write what you are thinking kind of book. Earlier in this thread it was mentioned that we hope we are thinking of our grandkids in our plans. Vonnegut wrote"I don't think people give a damn whether the planet goes on or not. It seems to me ais if everyone is living as members of Alcoholics Anonoymous, day by day.... I know of very few people who are dreaming of a world for their grandchildren." He does go on to say he hopes we are teaching our children to believe in our country. I hope we all remember that it's not only what we remember but what we pass on. Peace.
