A 2006 weekend for remembrance
This coming Monday, the 29th of May, we will commemorate Memorial Day for America's fallen. The graves of our brave warriors are scattered throughout the world: in Asia and in the Pacific, throughout Europe and Africa, in Iraq and throughout the Middle East. The pain of their families never heals, and the void they leave is never filled.
Although America's elitist detractors and spoiled malcontents, both homegrown and foreign, take every opportunity to impugn and demean what many across the globe consider to be the greatest and most benevolent nation to arise in the history of civilization, it is impossible for intelligent people to imagine a world in which America was not there, sacrificing her best and brightest, toiling in the honorable and selfless service of humanity.
Without the comforting embrace and protection of America, her cherished Constitution, and her willingness to use all means available to defend it, I have no doubt those very same perfumed, pampered elitists would soon enough experience the true meaning of despotism, enslavement, cruelty, torture, suffering, and death.
The B2 Journal hopes that all of you who have experienced the misery that exists in other lands, who have witnessed oppression in countries that are devoid of America's blessings, freedoms, and the rule of law...offer your humble respect this Monday when the Stars and the Stripes are lowered to half-mast in honor of our friends and family who have freely and honorably given of themselves to maintain the goodness America embodies.
And for those of you who have never experienced anything other than life in the United States where even the poorest, most wretched among us would be proclaimed princes in other lands, give thanks to those many brave men and women who have paid with blood to guarantee your continued happiness.
God Bless the United States of America and our absent brothers and sisters in arms — Our best and brightest in every generation, gone before their time.
