Happy Memorial Day

RIP to all that have lost their lives, or have had them severely interrupted, because of war. Forever and always hoping for alternative solutions to bloodshed, that can be reciprocal and beneficial Maybe someday we can get there.

Happy Memorial Day all!!! How everyone has great day. R.I.P. to all those lost.

First off, Cassie, I hope you’re feeling better. When you have children and spend time around so many little ones, it seems like viruses are always making the rounds. What you wrote was beautiful and very true. Your reactions to stories like Band of Brothers, Hacksaw Ridge, The Pacific, and other powerful war stories have been incredible to watch because they remind people that these were not just movies or series, but real human experiences that deserve to be remembered for generations. I also appreciate that you reacted not only to stories of courage and sacrifice, but also to the horrors of war shown in films like Schindler’s List and The Pianist. Those stories matter because they remind us what humanity is capable of, both good and evil. Coming from a military family, these subjects have always hit close to home for me. My father was on Omaha Beach during World War II, my brother served in Vietnam, and later in life, I volunteered in disaster areas. I’ve seen enough to understand how ugly the world can sometimes become. But I’ve also seen something else: in the middle of tragedy, people often show the very best of themselves through compassion, sacrifice, and caring for one another. Thank you again for treating these stories with respect and sincerity. It truly means a lot.

Hoping that you feel better soon. 🥰

Get well Cassie.

Amen

To those who gave all. So sorry you caught that noxious noro that's going around, Cassie. I hope it passes quickly and doesn't run through the family.

Thank you for these words. To all my fallen brethren, "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." John 15:13. "Dear Madam, I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom. Yours, very sincerely and respectfully, A. Lincoln"

Rest in peace Major Jesus Rodriguez. Vietnam Veteran. My father.

Sorry you about you being sick, there Cassie I had food poisoning last week not fun. We actually started watching World War II with Tom Hanks on the History channel. A 20 part series. Kind of celebrating Memorial day The unofficial start to summer.

Get well soon Cassie 🤗

Get well soon, Cassie

Hope you're feeling better soon Cassie

Boy, medically you can't catch a break. Hope the channel affords you one.

Very well said Cassie and thank you. I hope you know - at least from those of us who are parents (some of us grandparents) - that we understand the crucible you folks have undertaken as well to keep us all entertained. And we thank you as well.

Salute to the Country's Finest, of course, but can we also instigate a "No Sickness Day" for Cassie? It is obscene how often our Popcorn Poppet has to battle some kind of lurgy.

My Grandfather stormed the beaches in Normandy D-Day plus 2. He saw a lot of death. Lived to be 98. He told some stories. Great Patton stories. Feel better. See you on the flip side.

Today is celebrated in memory of all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. Cassie I hope you feel better. I had a similar problem (probably a stomach virus) a few days ago and it was so bad I had to go to the emergency room! I'm doing better now. Take care!

I'm always reminded of my dad today, may he rest, who served honorably in Vietnam. Such a good and peaceful man who answered his country's call to duty. I'm so proud of him and happy that he made it home safe to be the great dad that he was. I'm also thankful for those that weren't so fortunate. May their sacrifice not be in vain.

My favourite day of the year in Australia is ANZAC DAY. I wish I could attend the Dawn Service on this day, but without transport, it is difficult to get to. It helps me be reminded of the young men who died in service of their country. I hate all wars (except Star Wars), and wish that the world could find peace. We are here for a short time. We should not be wagi g wars with each other.

For 3 years I lived about 3 miles down the road from where the awful Mosque shooting in San Diego happened last week. I just moved away from there last November to live in my family's still being built ADU. Just yesterday some yahoo did a hoax about a shooter at the San Diego Zoo. It reminded me of the Oklahoma City bombing in the 90s, and how just days afterwards there was a prank bomb threat at my Red Hawk Elementary School when I was in the 5th grade. We all sat outside on the hop scotch numbers where we'd line up every morning, divided by our classroom and teacher. So that kind of thing of prank/hoax copycats after a real tragedy has been typical for a while, but is no less disheartening and terrible. Even though this day is for armed services, I honor security guard Amin Abdullah for saving the lives of so many children. We are all,(in the world!) deserving of freedom on this planet by birthright, free from totalitarians foreign(Hitler, Sadam, Bin Laden, others, etc) and domestic (a 17 and 18 year old American Nazi worshiper with a gun) who wish to do us and our neighbors harm and I also thank those who actively work to defend that freedom from those same kind of hateful people in other counties of different beliefs yet similar methodology in spreading their hate. I can't say whether or not my grandfather was a hero, but as a private in the U.S. ARMY CHINA-BURMA-INDIA campaign he helped build bridges to deliver critical munitions, food, and medicine to Nationalist Chinese forces and ultimately in 1975 he succumbed to the digestive issues he had for the rest of his life which originated from getting dysentery there. Unfortunately among the heroes in the military, at the same time I also sadly acknowledge there is hopefully, Hopefully, HOPEFULLY!, a MUCH SMALLER few in the military who use it as a means to take out their anger on anyone they think deserves it or whom the military feels like pointing them towards while they let themselves be aimed unquestioningly. Those who use themselves as a weapon to be pointed without a single thought about it. t's a complicated world where no one person on any side deserves judgement good or bad based only on association with a larger group, because often times we, and especially solders, don't wear our intentions on our clothes. Man is the most dangerous animal for both those whom they attack, and in having earned the trust that they had just cause to defend the innocents in the manner of which they do so.

I'm in the hotel industry and sadly I see every holiday that is supposed to be honoring fallen soldiers or vets in general grossly turned into an excuse to get wasted and trash hotel rooms. What saddens me about Memorial Day, Independence Day, Veterans Day, Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, 9/11 Remembrance, D-Day Remembrance.... all these days being lost on people and disrespected and used as an excuse to be off work and party and act as if they have zero consequence are proof that everything these people fought and died for has turned to shit.

Very well said 🤗 My grandfather was in WWII, and was injured at Bunker Hill but luckily was discharged after that. He was never the same since and never ever got over it.

Happy Memorial Day. Remember the fallen. Thank you for this beautiful post, Cassie. I sure hope that you feel better. That had to have been a rough drive home. Also, it was 49 years ago today, that "Star Wars" was released.

Historians widely trace the true origin to a May 1, 1865, event in Charleston, South Carolina, where formerly enslaved Black Americans honored fallen Union prisoners of war.

God bless you and yours, Cassie. And our fallen. And our veterans. And our active duty servicemembers.

I pray you feel better soon.

Bless you Cassie and I hope you feel better soon 💕

Remembering those who gave all, as well as those who gave more than enough of themselves and are out here hurting.

Well said. Glad you made it home ok. Get well.

Happy Memorial Day Cassie, and I hope you feel better soon

I let us remember our fallen service members. On this day let us also remember all the people around the world from other countries who also have laid down their lives for our interests - the translators in Iraq and Afghanistan, the spy networks behind enemy lines during ww2, the people that defected out of the Soviet union and then went back over the wall to gather further information. Anyone who has gone down range willing to pay the ultimate price on our behalf, and then willingly did. The countless and unnamed - their actions remembered. Not for glory but for our today, For our freedoms, For our futures. ...Planting seeds they never saw grow into the trees whose shade we get to enjoy instead of them. We may not know their faces and names. But we know their footprints on the paths we hike. They are with us. They are everywhere. Today Is an important day. Take time to cheers or cry or smile yell or laugh on behalf of the fallen. They have earned a few moments of our time. Love you all. And Thank-you on this memorial day.

So sorry you’re not feeling well, Cassie. The stomach flu or food poisoning, both are horrible, and I hope whichever it is passes quickly.

Among the many reasons for watching movies and television, enlightening us and educating us on topics and stories that help enrich our lives is probably among the most important and powerful. And there is no better example of this than movies and series that open our eyes and minds to the wars that changed the course of history and how we live today. Memorial Day is meant to be a reminder of the sacrifices made by so many so that we can enjoy the freedoms that we sometimes take for granted. But there are reminders all around us, everyday, wherever we go. To all the men and women who answered the call of duty and sacrificed so much so that we can live our best lives…I thank you and I salute you.

Happy Memorial Day!! Cassie Ben Carly and the Popcorn family and friends.

Today I am reminded of these words: "If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields." We can never truly repay them for their sacrifice, but it doesn't mean we don't try.

Get well soon Cassie!! Thanks for the post. My mom's uncle was at Normandy in WWII, he didn't talk about it much but I think of him when we celebrate this, Veterans Day, all of these

Feel better soon. Best to all of you...Road Trip back from Vegas is rough.

Well said. Thanks again for spotlighting the invaluable efforts of those who serve and sacrifice for all of us👍 Hope the tournament went well and you feel better soon.😊

Get well, Cassie!

“One day my grandson said to me, ‘Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?’ And I said to him ‘No I'm not a hero, but I have served in a company full of them.’”-Richard Winters from The Band of Brothers Happy Memorial Day everyone…🫡

To paraphrase Stephen Ambrose's book Citizen Soldiers, "the greatest price we pay for war is what might have been."

Well said Cassie! Feel better.
