Memorial Day

  A friend sent me the following poem, so I decided to post it here for the holiday. She did not know who the author is, so I can not give due credit to the writer.

How kind of you to remember my friend

And lay flowers by his grave to commend

Past deeds he’d done to save comrades lives

Posthumous honors appreciated by them and their wives

You annually commemorate and on him bestow

Many accolades but only we his comrades know

Every path he crossed leaving cover behind

Moved by the thick of dark that he might find

Our enemies’ locations and returned before light

Risked it all to give us a better chance to fight

I was there that night he said he’ll be back

All was dismal; we were retreating from an attack

Lives had been lost and ours were sure to be gone

Death was a certainty by the break of dawn

And though he never returned he led the enemy astray

You’re kind to remember him and make this a Happy Memorial Day

Tea Party Idiot Palin’s “ It’s All About Me “ Tour…

   ….kicked off on Sunday when she arrived by bus at the Rolling Thunder Memorial Weekend bikers rally in Washington,DC. only to get more publicity to generate more book sales and speaking fees.

    This circus clown is out only for all of the cash that she can possibly make for herself and her family, which should be the poster-child for abortion. It does not help that she was not invited to Rolling Thunder in the first place. In fact, she pissed off Allen West, which is a hard thing to do considering that he is an idiot in a group by himself.

 

Also, from Talking Points Memo

Palin's arrival kicked off the Tea Party favorite's bus tour up the northeastern coast. It also overwhelmed Rolling Thunder's security capabilities and strained organizers' patience as photographers, journalists and admirers swarmed the former Alaska governor after she hopped off the back of a black bike in the parking lot of the Pentagon.

"I don't think any talk about Palin coming here is right here, the talk is about Memorial Day, the talk is about like I said those people who have given that ultimate sacrifice," West said.

   This is a sad country when there are citizens in it who actually support that Palin piece of gutter garbage.
