Memorial Day

GameBoomers wishes you all a happy and safe Memorial Day. We also take a moment to reflect on those that gave their lives for us all.

Thank You to all who are serving, have served, lost their lives, and their families. You will never be forgotten.

Thank you Ana!

I got up this morning and realized I'd forgotten to mention Memorial Day. My bad.

Apologies to my fellow Vets.

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

Happy Memorial Day

To those who made the ultimate sacrifice

I always think of this poem on Memorial Day due to it's theme. It was written just prior to WWI and conveys an alternative and somewhat beautiful way to look at a dark topic.

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England’s, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.

And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Rupert Brooke

Thanks, Trail, that was beautiful!

Happy Memorial Day! My father served, my husband served, my daughter is still serving.

"Memorial Day" here in the UK is in November and all countries who are, or have been, our allies are represented.

I am a big supporter.

We owe all our fighting men and women a huge debt
