Memorial Day – 2010

Kiska would like to remind you that the reason we have a long weekend here in the United States of America is Memorial Day - the day we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

We received the attached as a chain email from a favorite relative, but thought it was a great series of reminders of the real purpose of the day.  We hope those of you in the U.S. enjoy your holiday Monday, but also pause to remember the real meaning of the day.

From all of us at Chez Herd, a tremendous thank you to all of the men and women who have given the ultimate in the service of their country.  We are thankful everyday for everything that you have provided for us.

    Well you need to pick the fabric that makes you photograph the best too. Of course keeping your fur safe until you want to regather it is a big plus of fabrics too. Good job in assisting in selections. We can’t leave it up to the humans. You know they don’t want to consider the fabrics that hold our scent or fur the best. Silly beings.

    Excellent Post. I think those cartoons make the statement quite well. We do forget what the holiday is truly about…

    Great post, TH. Everytime we read one of the items, we thought they couldn’t get any better, but they did. We loved the comparison to Thanksgiving.
