On this Memorial Day 2014 - I am once again reminded that this holiday weekend is not really about mattress sales or simply a day off. It is a day to celebrate our freedoms and remember those who gave their life to preserve these freedoms.
A family activity today could be taken from Thanksgiving Day traditions. As you have a meal today, why not take the time to say what freedom you are thankful for.
Here is a tribute to those who provide our freedom of speech and to gather for worship.
Paul Richard Hudgens.
I recently read over a copy of my dad's discharge form from the US Army. Here is what caught my attention as I noticed his commendations. It reads simply:
Normandy Northern France Ardennes
Rhineland Ground Combat
4 overseas service bars Good conduct medal
European - African - Middle Eastern
Ribbon w/ 1 silver battle star
World War 11 Victory Metal
