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.

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.

Very nicely said.

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

I agree…we are so thankful to those who served our country, both 2 and 4 legs.
A very interesting and beautiful tribute to an important day.
It sounds silly here but I’m glad I’ve found the way to follow your blog at last 🙂

LOVED those cartoons! So very true! As the daughter of a veteran, the one thing that has always been important is remember those who served our country. I wish I’d found those! Thanks for sharing!
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.
