Pausing to remember on Memorial Day...

[AKDoc]

...to honor those who lost their lives.

Our collective passion on this forum for the outdoors and hunting is a wondrous life-style and shared kindred together for sure! However, as a former Marine and war zone veteran, I always pause, and will never forget on this day, those who didn't come back home afterwards as I and most others did.

Live life to the fullest my fellow hunters, enjoy the day, and get out there in the field! We are all so very fortunate!!!

My wife and I drove through the West Virginia National Cemetery yesterday. It was a very humbling experience, and it was a reminder of how lucky we all are to have, and to have had, so many good people serving to protect our freedoms.

Maybe this will be the year no one says “happy Memorial Day” to me. Can always hope.

Praise, Honor and Respect for all those who have served.
Specially for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

A salute to all and their families that have made the ultimate sacrifice. God bless you all, and God bless America.

I encourage everyone to make memorial day personal. Find a soldier who was killed in action, learn thier name, possibly hang thier picture at an event your having today, but most importantly never forget them.

Nickel on the grass for Gaza, Mano, Rip, Bruiser, Klepto, Cajun, Chex, Doc, and Trojan. Gone, but not forgotten.

There are a lot of ways to contribute that are right in our wheelhouse. Numerous programs exist for disabled veterans and the survivors of the fallen that involve the outdoors and/or hunting. There are lots of volunteer opportunities out there, for those willing to take the plunge. Here are a couple of options I work with:

Ill never forget standing in formation at the foot of Gen. Patton resting place in the Americana cemetery in Luxembourg on this day 4 years ago. The ceremony held by the Luxembourg citizens to honor our fallen and the sacrifices they made was amazing.
