Everyone has their thoughts on Memorial Day. I joined vets at the American Legion on Sterling Street this morning to honor those who have served and sacrificed.
County Vet Coordinator Pete Fazio told those gathered not to lament those who are gone, but instead celebrate that they were among us.
Memorial Day and Veterans Day observances do no gain the attention they once did, especially from the pols. There was a Memorial Day message from one Congressional candidate which I linked to in this post. I didn't receive anything from anyone else.
"Every day the people of Watertown awaken free of want...free of tyranny....and living in peace and harmony with their neighbors. That is why we love our Country and celebrate the memory of those memorialized this day. May God continue to keep an eye on our City and may he continue to bless the United States of American," were my words at this somber moment.
