OfflineThanks, Empress-N! This is wonderful! My heartfelt thanks and gratitude
goes to all who gave of themselves to serve our country at home and
abroad. My husband, father, many relatives and friends served in the armed
forces. A few of my friends never came home. A relative suffers permanent
anguish from the war. We must, also, remember the families that support our
service people during their tour of duty and when they come home! Our
government must provide much better care for our returning soldiers and
address all of their needs!!!
God Bless America!!!296 116 301 105 610 134 718

Great numbers for the Great troops Empress-N, thought you might enjoy this piece about the soldier which I believe is a take originally attributed to ~Sir Winston Churchill
EddessaKnight
~
It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of
religion.It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.©Copyright 1970, 2005 by Charles M. ProvinceCharles
M. Province, a veteran of the US Army, is the sole and single Founder and
President of The George S. Patton, Jr. Historical Society. He is the author of
“The Unknown Patton”, “Patton’s Third Army”, and “Patton’s One-Minute
Messages”--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FINAL INSPECTION
The Soldier stood and faced God,Which must always come to
pass.He hoped his shoes were
shining,Just as brightly as his
brass..
'Step forward now, Soldier
,How shall I deal with
you?Have you always turned the
other cheek?To My Church have you been
true?'
The soldier squared his
shoulders and said,'No, Lord, I guess I have
not.Because those of us who
carry guns,Can't always be a
saint.
I've had to work most
Sundays,And at times my talk was
tough.And sometimes I've been
violent,Because the world is awfully
rough.
But, I never took a
penny,That wasn't mine to
keep...Though I worked a lot of
overtime,When the bills got just too
steep.
And I never passed a cry for
help,Though at times I shook with
fear..And sometimes, God, forgive
me,I've wept unmanly
tears.
I know I don't deserve a
place,Among the people
here.They never wanted me
around,Except to calm their
fears.
If you've a place for me
here, Lord,It needn't be so
grand.I never expected or had too
much,But if you don't, I'll
understand.
There was a silence all
around the throne,Where the saints had often
trod.As the Soldier waited
quietly,For the judgment of his
God.
'Step forward now, you
Soldier,You've borne your burdens
well.Walk peacefully on Heaven's
streets,You've done your time in
Hell.'

In the South
In Charleston, South Carolina in 1865, freedmen (freed enslaved Africans) celebrated at the Washington Race Course, today the location of Hampton Park. The site had been used as a temporary Confederate prison camp for captured Union soldiers in 1865, as well as a mass grave for Union soldiers who died there.
Immediately after the cessation of hostilities, freedmen exhumed the bodies from the mass grave and reinterred them in individual graves. They built a fence around the graveyard with an entry arch and declared it a Union graveyard. On May 1, 1865, a crowd of up to ten thousand, mainly black residents, including 2800 children, proceeded to the location for events that included sermons, singing, and a picnic on the grounds, thereby creating the first Decoration Day-type celebration.
Beginning in 1866 the Southern states had their own Memorial Days, ranging from April 26 to mid June. The birthday of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, June 3, became a state holiday in 10 states by 1916. Across the South associations were founded after the war to establish and care for permanent cemeteries for Confederate soldiers, organize commemorative ceremonies, and sponsor impressive monuments as a permanent way of remembering the Confederate tradition. Women provided the leadership in these associations, paving the way to establish themselves as capable of public leadership.
The earliest Confederate Memorial Day celebrations were simple, somber occasions for veterans and their families to honor the day and attend to local cemeteries. Around 1890, there was a shift from this consolatory emphasis on honoring specific soldiers to public commemoration of the Confederate "Lost Cause". Changes in the ceremony's hymns and speeches reflect an evolution of the ritual into a symbol of cultural renewal and conservatism in the South. By 1913, however, the theme of American nationalism shared equal time with the Lost Cause. Columbus, Mississippi at its Decoration Day on April 25, 1866, commemorated both the Union and Confederate casualties buried in its cemetery.
At Gettysburg
The ceremonies and Memorial Day address at Gettysburg National Park were nationally famous, starting in 1868. In July 1913, veterans of the United States and Confederate armies gathered in Gettysburg to commemorate the fifty-year anniversary of the Civil War's bloodiest and most famous battle. The four-day "Blue-Gray Reunion" featured parades, reenactments, and speeches from a host of dignitaries, including President Woodrow Wilson, the first Southerner in the White House since the War.
Congressman James Heflin of Alabama was given the honor of the main address. Heflin was a noted orator; two of his best-known speeches were an endorsement of the Lincoln Memorial and his call to make Mother's Day a holiday, but his choice as Memorial Day speaker was met with criticism.
He was opposed for his racism, but his speech was moderate, stressing national unity and goodwill, and the newspapers, including those who opposed his invitation to speak, praised him.
