29 May 99 - 06:14 AM (#82601) Subject: Lyr Add: THE WALL (Joel Mabus) From: Roger in Baltimore The Wall by Joel Mabus
I guess you could call it our summer of freedom,
Touch a name on the wall.
Each time I come here, I wear my fatigues,
Touch a name on the wall.
Usually walls are just made for division,
Touch a name on the wall. Just a musical message to help us all remember this Memorial Day Holiday (USA) is more than a time for cookouts and family get togethers. As a Vietnam Veteran and as the son of a WWII Veteran, my hat is off this weekend to those who served their country and gave the last full measure of devotion. Roger in Baltimore |
29 May 99 - 07:09 AM (#82607) Subject: RE: Memorial Day From: bbc Thanks, Roger. For so many, it is just another 3-day weekend. My dad served in WWII & was part of the D-Day invasion. Many of the "war" efforts since then have left us w/ mixed feelings, but I still respect those who serve their countries in our armed services. my respects to them & to you, Roger, bbc |
29 May 99 - 09:04 AM (#82614) Subject: RE: Memorial Day From: Banjer Yes, Roger, very nicely done! Although I never went to the Nam, I was stationed in Seoul, ROK 69 to 70. I saw many of my friends go to Viet Nam and many did not return. Three of them childhood buddies from right here at home. That is why I too feel that Memorial Day is a special day for all of us. My Civil War Artillery unit will be taking part in two ceremonies this weekend, on Sunday, a modern day rededication of the Veterans section of a local cemetery and on Monday we will be doing our annual Memorial Day ceremony at the graveside of Captain John Chase of the 5th Maine Battery. Captain Chase is a Civil War Medal of Honor winner. This ceremony is done in accordance with protocol of the period, and finishes up with a listing of all the veterans buried in that cemetery, as well as the living veterans taking part in the service. The second ceremony is my favorite. Since our unit portrays an artillery unit we feel that firing the final salute (cannon) is very appropriate and quite an honor as well. The Sunday ceremony we will be doing as the Rockbridge Artillery, D Battery, Rockbridge County, Viriginia, CSA and Monday's we will see duty as the 1st Pennsylvania Light Artillery, D Battery, USA. I also invite the local JROTC group that I work with to attend. It gives them a feel for the importance of Memorial Day and the importance of carrying on the military traditions. It is also encouraging to some of the older Veterans to see the yougsters learning to "carry on". Thanks Roger, for reminding us all that this holiday is more than just another reason to go to the beach! |

Chorus:
I saw the echo of a thousand wars in the face of the man
He learnt his lesson early, a confirmation under fire
He came back an addict, he came back a drunk
So what do you say to the veteran who can't take it any more
I sincerely hope Kosovo doesn't develop into a new Vietnam! - Susanne

29 May 99 - 06:28 PM (#82701) Subject: RE: Memorial Day From: katlaughing It means to me, my Grandma Youmans taking me down to the local newspaper office, when I was about 9 years old, and buying me an American flag all of my own. They had them on sale especially for Memorial Day. From my earliest memories, it meant a trip, by car, up to the old cemetary in New Castle, CO, way up in the hills, above many ranches, on a dirt road woith square corners around each field of grazing cattle. Going to the Hudson gravesite, with my grandparents and Crawford greatgrandparents, as well as others buried there. It has a huge solid granite headstone, which back then seemed of awesome proportions. The area, which is really the foothills of the Rockies, is usually dusty and somewhat hot, with high altitude sun and no reaily available water. We would clean up the site and my particular choice of jobs, was to outline the edges with little pebbles, each year. Across the way, we would go to my Mom's parents, my Youmans grandparents and her brother, Ralph, who died his sr. yr in high school from a bicycle accident. This one was a little bit fancier, with a concrete edging around it. If I remember right, it also had a few shrubs or flowers, hardy, native plants which could survive without any "perpetual" care. We placed Mom's ashes near there, this January, beside her other brother, Howard, a perpetually walking wounded of WWII, who finally couldn't take it anymore and fatally shot himself a few years ago. He had shrapnel near his heart, which they told him could kill him anytime, from the end of the war on. He also had a lot of what we now recognise as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which he kept under tight control with drinking. He was an incredibly brilliant jazz clarinetist and when he retired had a busines making exquisitely designed, inlaid wood products which were sold in Aspen to high mucky-mucks from all over the world. I am sure we must've went to a parade or two over the years. We would usually finish up the cemetary visit with a picnic and a ride around the area where mom and dad grew up and/or go for a swim in the hot springs at Glenwood Springs, juts up the road. My sister, bet, will be going up there tomorrow to add flowers and clean up, esp. where we put mom's ashes. I do often think of my uncles who were WWII veterans and my Roger who was in the Philipines during Vietnam. He ahd high security clearance and often helped to unload body bags in the dark of the night. They were sworn to secrecy as to quantity; the government didn't want the numbers to get out the press and hence the public. My greatgrandad was a veteran of Bloody Kansas on the Union side; and the other was a recalcitrant rebel of the South. I am grateful to all for working for justice. I am even more grateful that my son has not been put in that position. And, I second Art's desire. Gawd forgive this world if my grandsons ever have to go to battle, for I am not sure what I would do. Thank you for starting this thread. katlaughing

29 May 99 - 06:35 PM (#82706) Subject: RE: Memorial Day From: Llanfair Amen,Suzanne, to that. Our Memorial day is November 11th. This is the Whitsun holiday, when, in Lancashire, and points north, everyone, children especially, take part in the Whit Walks, a parade through the town with bands playing and children dressed in white. Bit of a contrast, don't you think? Hwyl, Bron. |

The refrain, for people who don't want to click:
I remember sometime back around 1977 sitting with my mother in our next door neighbor's living room. Our neighbor had hung on to a cassette tape for 5 years without playing it. She said it was because she didn't have a tape player. My mom bought one and took it over. We all listened to that tape at our neighbor's request. It was her son's last "letter" home, recorded the night before he was killed in battle. |
29 May 99 - 10:21 PM (#82768) Subject: RE: Memorial Day From: SingsIrish Songs The first time (and only time so far)I went to Washington, DC and saw the memorial Wall, I got chills and goosebumps...the emotions were up--it is so hard to describe. And my family and close friends were not directly affected with Nam...then to turn around and notice the "statue" of the soldiers...I was in tears... It is so easy for us who are not directly affected with these incidents to forget... I was amazed to learn that one of my parent's neighbors is the nephew (if I remember correctly) anyhow, related to one of the families that the movie Saving Private Ryan was based on...now holidays like Memorial Day and Veterans' Day mean a little more... Thanks for posting those lyrics! Mary |
29 May 99 - 10:42 PM (#82774) Subject: RE: Memorial Day From: Big Mick Thanks for doing this one, Roger. I always see faces on Memorial Day. Sometimes they are the faces of fella's going on patrol never to return, sometimes they are the faces of friends going off to service never to return; sometimes it is the tortured and hurt look in an old man-warrior's eyes as he and I realize that it was a different place and buddy but the same experience; it is the face of a woman named Nora who was a nurse and who tended a buddy of mine who was dying and in his dying he thought that she was his girl, and so she was, and held him while he died. She cried as if she had lost her own lover and bears the scars in her mind to this very day. I see many faces and hear many sounds on this day. I will take my 7 year old daughter to the local memorial and explain it to her. At around 10:00 p.m. (Eastern US) on Monday evening I will be sitting on a hill in the middle of Yankee Springs State Game Area with a Low D Whistle. After all the flatlanders have gone home without ever having given a thought as to why they had the extra day off, I will begin playing my whistle to those friends, and those faces, and those voices. I will play to my friends the stars, and to Orion the Hunter. And I will remember.....and I will memorialize.......and I will cry. Will you all do the old Mick a favor, please? Will you sing a song of remembrance then, or a tune, or just let the notes flow for my friends, and your friends, and kin? Will you sing for Nora and all her sisters who meant so much to us? Will you remember that the warriors didn't set the policy? Will you remember that Vietnam was not just an exercise in civil disobedience? I would really appreciate it, my very dear friends. It is one of the reasons why I sing. Thanks and I will be listening for you. All the best, |

30 May 99 - 03:44 AM (#82824) Subject: RE: Memorial Day From: Penny S. When I grew up in Folkestone, my grandfather took me to the top of a road leading down to the sea. It is now called the Road of Remembrance, but was constructed to lead down to a new built pier, for the young men to march down to the ships that would take them to Flanders during WW1. He taught me to see them all, marching down there, the last time they were on British soil. The road was planted with great clumps of rosemary for remembrance, though now only traces of that hedge remain. Every year in November, when we have our equivalent of Memorial Day, I see them again. You have brought them back to mind now. |

31 May 99 - 12:47 AM (#82971) Subject: RE: Memorial Day From: rich r Memorial Day in the USA was started as a day to remember Union soldiers from the Civil War. The south had their own Confederate equivalent which was earlier in the calendar year. When I lived in the south in the 70's Memorial Day was observed mostly by banks and branches of the Federal government. It was not an official state holiday so schools and factories etc. went about their business. Does anyone out there know if that has changed in the past 20 years? rich r |
31 May 99 - 04:38 AM (#82994) Subject: RE: Memorial Day From: lloyd61 In North Carolina, many of us spend the day thanking our loved ones how gave there all. Schools are closed, but most spend the day at Wal*Mart. A few thoughts from WWII....The troupe train came past our home, men dressed in brown handed out candy to use kinds. Why my Dad cried at such a happy time I could not understand. We gathered old iron and piled it at the corner of the street every week. In the morning it was gone. The street dance, and free Ice Cream, when they said "the war was over". Again my dad cried at such a happy time, but this time I understood. Now it is my time to cry when I watch MSNBC. In the morning I will cry again. God help us! |
31 May 99 - 06:17 AM (#83001) Subject: RE: Memorial Day From: Banjer Rich R, yes, Memeorial Day is observed in the South, at least here in Florida. Confederate Memorial Day, April 26th, is also observed by many folks, although no official recognition is made. (That would be VERY un-PC, doncha know) It sometimes puzzles me as to why that is, were the "Soldiers of the Cause" not also Americans, just with different ideas? They still gave their lives for something they believed in! (Let's not get into all the possible discussions as to the causes and ramifications here on this thread, please, let's keep this one in the spirit of remembrance of ALL our fallen heroes, THANK YOU!) As mentioned earlier in this thread our reenactment unit takes part in several ceremonies. Yesterday's was at a local cemetery rededicating the Veteran's section and installation of a new plaque. All our historical eras were represented there, from the Revolutionary soldiers right up to modern day military uniforms. Our artillery unit was present as our Confederate image, and another was present as the union. The whole ceremony was well received by all and there are plans afoot already for an even bigger one next year. |

The VFW had been there earlier and placed their flags. It would be wonderful if the flags could be there always. We owe so much to the men and women who served or are serving our country. As started in an earlier message I hope Kosovo doesn't turn into another mess like you had to go through. My son-in-law is stationed at Avaion AFB in Itlay.

Though I did not have friends that died or were seriously injured, I knew some who fought in Vietnam. The emotions I felt were overwhelming. All the slogans and objective opinions seemed totally superficial for me at that moment. I almost wish I had never seen it. Certainly I still loathe politicians. And especially the ones in positions of real power, who's motives I have never - and will never trust - but, all I could think about was all those poor young people. Such waste. I couldn't do more than silently say "I'm sorry". |
01 Jun 99 - 01:29 AM (#83150) Subject: RE: Memorial Day From: bseed(charleskratz) Mick, I read that incredibly moving message when you first posted it--I addressed the message to you not because I thought you would be offended--far from it: I think I was inspired to write it partly by my memory of what you had written in the Vietnam Songs thread. Addressing it to you was really a rhetorical device (I hope you aren't bothered by being used as a rhetorical device)--I thought by so addressing it, I would link what I wanted to say to what you had said, again so passionately and eloquently, to emphasize that people on both sides of a war have friends die in their arms, or lose sons, husbands, sisters and brothers, lovers, parents, awake screaming in the night for years after... --seed |

I was one of the unfortunite ones that got spat on, things thown at, and called "Baby Killer" by the young collage students of the day. (Guess that's why I don't really trust collage people today.
I think I perfer honist hate, over phony "you did a good job" crap that is P.C. right now. At least when someone is screaming in your face, you know where you stand. Now I feel that most of the "Hurray! for VN Vets" Is just so much BS.
As a Vet, I don't like the "Wall" I see it as a great open sore, that just won't go away...or heal.
I think spending Memorial Day at Wall- Mart is one heck of a good idea. At least people there are honist and just want your money. Better go on a cook out with your family. Think of your ancesters, buy you should think of your family and ancesters more than once a year.
The one to feel sorry for the the Sgt. that "helped" clinton place the wreith. In case you missed it, Clinton had to make several stabs with the flowers to get them in the stand. The Sgt. had to make him look good as he was screwing up. I wonder if clinton was drunk?

05 Jun 99 - 12:44 AM (#84148) Subject: RE: Memorial Day From: Gracie Wow. I thank all of you for your honest insights into the meaning of Memorial Day. As a child, I dreaded the weekend, as it meant spending my birthday(May 29) packing and unpacking for our annual big camping trip, fetching this and that for whomever, when all I wanted to do was stay home and read instead of going camping to read between calls. Of course, I have grown up a bit since then, and have become more aware of the meaning of Memorial Day, but the sincerity of your conversation has really touched my heart. As for singing, I only do so in church, but this weekend I shall be singing "For Future Generations", with respect to graduates; to those who have taught us the important things in life and have gone on ahead, to leave us with their legacy and memories; and those who were killed at the high schools, most especially the young lady who died for her belief in God and her right to express that belief, which so many men (and women) have suffered and died fighting for. Christian singer Ray Boltz recently wrote 2 new songs honoring those who fight for and stand guard for freedom; he gained a new respect for all they sacrifice during his trips to undeveloped countries. Thank you all for adding to my eye-opening experiences. I feel there is such wisdom here at this site. |

This thread was started in 1999 and now, five years later with yet another military action in our history, it is interesting to note the thoughts of those that posted back then and wonder how they feel about things today. Since that thread was started I learned about the fate of my father, who was laid to rest in 1993 in Dayton, Ohio at the National Cemetery.

Whatever your feelings, pro or con, take a moment to remember all those who served and give thanks for their sacrifice. Thanks! Banjer |
