MEMORIAL DAY 2015

    Memorial Day is celebrated on a Monday to give workers a three day weekend. Monday should be called B & B Day(Barbecue and Beach Day.)

     We should  remember on this day the sacrifices of our armed forces in past wars.

  THE VIETNAM WAR WAS A GOOD WAR
.The Vietnam War was mentioned very prominently in the media and given the usual media spin.Contrary to the media spin. The Vietnam War was a good war and fought for good reasons.We were trying to help the South Vietnamese to

retain their freedom and control of their government.

       When Vietnam was divided in half-- the north was controlled by the Communists and the South by those who wanted to be free. Three million people in the north voted with their feet and went south.Then the communist north  began to try to gain control of the south by guerrilla warfare.The US and other countries went to the aid of South Vietnam and so the war was on.

       (Sen Reed and McCain are going to Vietnam for business reasons.Are they going to fight for the religious freedom and other freedoms lost under the communist regime????They are going to bailout the communist  dictatorship in Vietnam,just like Potus Obama is trying to do in communist Cuba.)

   PLEDGE AND PRAY
 On this day we should meditate on our pledge:
                    "I pledge allegiance to the flag,AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS,one nation,UNDER GOD,with liberty and justice for all."

 We should recite Lincoln's prayer he said at Gettysburg,Pa. November 19.1863:
                       "...that this nation,UNDER GOD,shall not perish from the face of this earth."  AMEN
