Memorial Day....

The conception of Memorial Day is very specific: It is a day set aside to honor those who have made the supreme sacrifice for their fellow American citizens.

Established on May 5, 1868, when Gen. John Logan proclaimed a day of remembrance for the Civil War dead. On May 30, 1868, flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. Congress made Memorial Day a national holiday in 1971 after each of states began setting aside the day to respectfully honor fallen soldiers.

Cities and towns across America hold ceremonies and parades honoring the brave soldiers who gave their lives so that we can live in peace.

Now in 2007 their are some, (of who which I won't give time or space in mentioning),  who are ungraciously disrespecting the honor of fallen soliders. Those who are willing to derograte the supreme sacrifice that brave soliders have made for their fellow American citizens for political gain. These contumelious individuals and their impudent attitudes, spewing thier blasphemous profanity in the name of patriotism, is nothing more than an act of depriving Memorial Day of its sacred character.

America stay alert - For the traitor appears not a traitor.....

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

"For the traitor appears not a traitor – he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear."
Marcus Tullius Cicero 42 B.C.
