Meowllo everypawdy. Me doesn’t have to tell ya’ but today is Memorial day here in da United States. As you know me stays away from pawlotics here on me’s bloggy cuz well, there’s just no way to win. You know when it comes to holidays, we always seem to say Happy, Merry or some other gleeful expression. And so today there will be lots of “happy Memorial day” sayings. But me doesn’t exactly know what’s so happy about a day dat we remember those who have served and died or were irrepurrably injured fighting for the freedoms we live under. Especially considering da state of our current affairs.
Now don’t get me wrong, me’s grateful to have been born in America and have those freedoms, and we are soooooooo grateful fur all those who serve and have served to keep us free and safe. Me is grateful to their families who while not serving abroad, served just da same. Me is thankful fur every fallen soldier and he/she is a hero in mes book. Me is thankful to all those who came back to their families and country. And me’s ashamed of how our country has treated some of those soldiers. Whether you agree with the war or not, those soldiers are following orders. Those soldiers are keeping you and me safe. Trust me, they would rather be back home safe and sound in their own beds with their own families. So shame on us fur not always supporting them da way we should. And shame on us fur allowing our government to take away some of da very freedoms dat were bought with da blood and lives of those soldiers.
Dat’s right, Freedom isn’t Free. While our government scurries about tryin’ to re-write history and take away our right to bear arms, or censor our speech, or the many other rights they think allow us to much choice, men and women in da military are still dying to purrtect those rights. Many of those same soldiers serve in areas where they’re not allowed to purractice da same rights they’re fighting fur you and me to keep. Shame on us fur bowing down to Cult leaders who call themselves rulers and telling our soldiers they must abide da rules of da tyrannical governments we as a nation are tryin’ to overthrow.
Are we Patriotic? ABSOLUTELY YES!!! Do we luv America? ABSOLUTELY YES!!! We know we are blest to live in such a great country and we wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. This country was founded on da beliefs of da Bible and our fore fathers intended fur da people to control da government, not da other way around. God Bless America, land of da free and home of da brave. Let us never furget how this country was established and those who bled and died to ensure you could go about your days and nights safely without a care. Those who furget their past are doomed to repeat it. So today and everyday…
REMEMBER
Thank You!!!
Me will get off me’s soapbox now and wish you a safe and blest Memorial day. And mommy and me want to say a meowsy big Thank You fur your service. We will never furget. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
Till da next time……………………………………Be Blest!!!
Excellent posty Dezi. Well said. I live in the UK as you know, and Casey and Gibbs are lucky they live with me because they’re strays. But sometimes I say to them, ‘if I was Prime Minister of the UK for just one day, boy, what changes I would make! What laws would I implement to make animals’ lives better, and what laws I’d bring in to punish those that treat animals badly.’ You wouldn’t want to mess with me if I was PM for a day!!! MOL xxx
love Pauline, Casey and Gibbs xxxx

Having just spent time in Washington DC, at the heart of our nation, I really felt that we ARE the greatest nation, even with our faults. When back home again, the gap between what the people need and what politicians actually do, begins to feel too wide. However, I believe that each one of us is in a position to bring about change, and we all need to exercise that!
