Flopping Aces has a wonderful Memorial Day tribute titled simply "Remember" and Blackfive has an amazing Memorial Day weekend thank you from those left behind.
I will be in and out this weekend, but will update this post with additional Memorial Day links throughout the weekend. Feel free to add your own in the comments section or as a trackback. (If you trackback, be sure to link this post or it might not make it through the trackback spam filter.)
Update: A Patriotic Drive is on at Operation Gratitude and will be featured on Fox today.

Lorie, I'll link both of those posts and give you a hat tip in just a few. I've got a bunch of Memorial Day posts at http://www.smalltownveteran.net/bills_bites/memorial_day/index.html. I also have a series started at http://www.oldwardogs.us/memorial_day/index.html but so far it only contains one post that isn't also on my site.

In honor of my son in the Middle East, I sought out soldiers graves today. In my little town, on a moutain top, I found Civil War Vets, WW1 Vets, WW2 Vets and Korean Vets that died in battle. I said my little prayer, to each and every one.
"I do not come to mourn you today. I come to give thanks to God Almighty for men like you that lived. Thank you for your service from an American Patriot.We will never forget. Amen"
