Happy Memorial Day - Honoring this Day with Beads!

I decided to look up some info about Memorial Day for this post, and I really don't recall learning this tidbit of info in school. This holiday began after the Civil War and was originally called Decoration Day, started by freedmen (former slaves) to honor the Union soldiers who died in the Civil War. After World War I it included all Military Soldiers who died while in service to the country.

Today a lot of people have the day off from work, go to the beach, the lake, have a cook out, drink beer and visit with family. There are various memorial services held by VFW or other organizations, and some people just go to the cemetary and put flowers on loved ones graves.

This is my remembrance of those fallen in battle: Union Soldiers, all Military who have paid the price of freedom here in the United States of America!

Make Your Beads Stand for Israel

I am not trying to turn this blog into anything political... but I still have the right to free speech
which is given to me by God and the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

I stand for Israel and their right to exist, their right to worship and live as a free people. As said by Prime Minister Netanyahu,

"Israel is not what is wrong about the Middle East. Israel is what is right about the Middle East."

As a peaceful people they have the right to retain their country and not return to the pre 1967 indefensible borders. Does anyone really think that the Palestinians would leave them alone and be peaceful if they did go back to the pre 1967 borders?? You know that wouldn't happen. Too many folks over in the Middle East are raised to hate the Jewish people (as well as us Americans) and seek to kill them. Many of us can not really grasp this because we have lived securely here in the USA for so long.

While I don't have a voice that anyone hears, and sometimes think I can't make a difference, I am proclaiming my thoughts anyway. Growing up I never could understand why people felt the need to fight, why people could not get along. Remaining peaceful has always seemed to be easy for me, but I realize now that this is because I have always lived in a country where I had freedoms that many people in the world do not. I am very grateful for this! If I did not have these freedoms and my right to exist, speak, work, or worship God as I choose were threatened, I would be prepared to fight.
