What a beautiful post, TA, and a beautiful pic of that mighty ship! You've given a lovely and fitting reminder of what this particular holiday is all about, and I thank you!
THANK you for the kind words!!! I have a number of family members and friends who have served or who are serving in the military; so, this day is VERY special to me.
I looked at several pics of the U.S.S. Missouri, but I thought that the one I posted had the best view of the ship and her armaments; so, I'm GLAD that you liked that pic. : )
Hey honey, like you said it's been a long time since you've posted, I've missed you. It's nice to see you :)
War is never the solution but sometimes it's the only option we have. I'm grateful that people gave their life to save us. But I'm also very sad and I wish none of this had happened.
I've missed you too, and it's NICE to see your comment here. : )
I agree that war sometimes is the "only option", but I always pray for peace. And, like you, I WISH that NO ONE would ever have to give their life for our freedom, but I also realize that sometimes the only way to bring peace is to fight. It's a horrible paradox. : (
I know that you don't celebrate Memorial Day when we do here in the U.S., but does Belgium have a remembrance day, and if so, when is it? Just curious. ; )

No, we don't have a Memorial Day here, we have only November the 11th for WWI, we don't have a day for WWII.

THANKS for explaining about how Belgium honors their servicemen and women for WWI. They really should have a day for WWII veterans though.
Take care!!! : )
