Memorial Day 09

Today is Memorial Day. I would like to take some time to remember the men and women who have lost their lives while fighting for our freedom. I would like to thank all of the men and women who have or are fighting for our freedom as well.

While I was watching CNN, I noticed they were showing this new Google Earth Map called Map the Fallen. It maps the fallen service members from the Iraq/Afghanistan war.



I was even able to find Luke. Remember him?



Check it out. It's very sad, but very interesting, too. You can even sign their guest books.

I hope you are all having a good Memorial Day, but let's not forget what today is about.

Thanks for putting this up. It's comforting to know we're not the only ones praying for "the boys".
