I’m gearing up for Memorial Day. In my last post I mentioned a Memorial Day program held in the front of the County Courthouse. Well, I have been checking the paper for more information about it for this year, but found nothing. Then I remembered talking to someone about it last year and that I had learned this was organized (in some way) through the Greater Starkville Development. So, I decided to check their website for any information and found that the event is on for tomorrow.
The details are as follows: Place: Starkville, MS in front of the Oktibbeha County Courthouse (Main Street) Time: 11:30 am.
I will be there looking quite patriotic and carrying a camera.
Memorial Day is almost here. Last year, I learned that Starkville had started having a Memorial Day program in front of the County Courthouse. I went and wished I had my camera with me. So far, I haven’t seen any mention about the program for this year, but I will be there if it occurs. This is how I wish to spend Memorial Day.
Recently, I received an email from the Kitchen Table Gang (http://www.kitchentablegang.org/) which included a quote that I hope will not prove true this Memorial Day (or any day after). It was written by an unknown soldier and the message from KTG informs that it was “Etched onto the wall of a sentry box in Gibraltar”.
“God and the soldier, all men adore In time of danger and not before. When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the soldier slighted.” - unknown Soldier
To all those who have served and are serving, thank you. To those who have lost loved ones in the line of duty I want to say thank you.
Let freedom ring! “Lest we forget.”
