Memorial Day (Page 3/4) cliffw MAY 30, 06:32 PM quote Originally posted by sourmash: Cliff, if you don't understand by now, then you aren't capable. Don't believe everything you think. That is true for any that do. quote Originally posted by sourmash: Remember Decoration Day. Today each marker at our National Cemetaries receives an American Flag placed beside it. The volunteers who place them will have blistered hands to remind them of this day from now and forever. I witnessed one of our local cemeteries with thousands of flags placed today. Boo Hoo, blisters. Do they get Purple Heart medals ? I have had blisters, on soft hands. I did 40 years in the oil fields and don't remember one. Callouses don't blister. The volunteers who died, whether drafted or not, got the ultimate blister. sourmash MAY 30, 07:06 PM You got paid to do a job? Not impressed. Those who volunteer to place flags remember the importance of this event for lifetime. Just another thing you didn't comprehend. Traditionally Boy Scouts have placed them here. cliffw MAY 31, 07:35 AM quote Originally posted by sourmash: You got paid to do a job?

What kind of stupid are you ? It's not that I got paid to do a job. I am not trying to impress you. Those who volunteer to place flags remember the importance of this event for lifetime. ? We should all remember the fallen heros, who gave all, for us. For freedom. I can see why your user name was inspired. sourmash MAY 31, 09:23 AM Ok, you feel the need to brag about having a job while belittling child volunteers honoring deceased veterans at National Cemetaries on a thread about the American soldier. Everyone else has the ability to understand how children learn the importance. Maybe if you volunteered, you'd learn? You're a reason why the world is sick of Americans. cliffw MAY 31, 10:42 AM quote Originally posted by cliffw: What kind of stupid are you ? quote Originally posted by sourmash: Ok, you feel the need to brag about having a job while belittling child volunteers honoring deceased veterans at National Cemetaries on a thread about the American soldier.

You are a special kind of stupid. Yeah, right. The world is sick of Americans, yet they pour in from all over the world to live here. maryjane MAY 31, 11:00 AM I've been on both sides of that event, folding and presenting the Colors and I have received the Colors as well. One is as heartbreaking as the other. sourmash MAY 31, 11:32 AM quote Originally posted by cliffw: Ok, thanks for answering. You are a special kind of stupid. Yeah, right. The world is sick of Americans, yet they pour in from all over the world to live here. The advanced world is sick of how ignorant the American society is. Hollywood educated people like yourself. Media indoctrinated, like you, who worship their own unspectacular achievements, like having worked a job but worshiping yourself above volunteer children placing flags at soldier's graves. They don't come to praise our way anymore. They're here to invade, take your country and replace you. They piss on people like you while you take it as a compliment. Jake_Dragon MAY 31, 12:19 PM quote Originally posted by TheDigitalAlchemist: How would you suggest someone " properly celebrate" this holiday? Would like to do so and make sure it's not just "A day off from school"... know what I mean? Today should be spent with family, enjoying the day and giving thanks to those that are not with us. Those that this day represent would love nothing more than to be celebrating today with you. Family and enjoying life, the thought of one day coming home and being with loved ones again. Today isn't about war, its not about some agenda or political view. Today is to honor those that sacrificed so we are able to enjoy our day with family. You want to honor those that gave all then let them see you enjoying today. Let them hear the yells and laughs of the children they never got to see. Enjoy food and fellowship with those that open their hearts and embrace the freedom that comes from sacrifice. Thank you for your sacrifice. olejoedad MAY 31, 02:11 PM quote Originally posted by Jake_Dragon: Today should be spent with family, enjoying the day and giving thanks to those that are not with us.
