Memorial Day — Honor Those Who Gave All…
On Memorial Day, we honor those service men and women who have given their lives in defense of their country and freedom. Take time today to honor our fallen heroes. Our world would be a far different place without their sacrifices.
 “Last Rites” (U.S. Navy photo, National Archives).  |
The top photo shows U.S. Navy Chaplain, LCDR Joseph O’Callahan administering last rites to an injured crewman aboard the USS Franklin (CV-13) after the ship was struck by by two armor-piercing bombs from a Japanese dive bomber on March 19, 1945. Chaplain O’Callahan received the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions onboard.
Lest we forget.
I’ve noticed that the “President” aka Obama is not honoring our fallen. He’s off to Chicago………..

The President did not go to Arlington Nat’l Cemetery but did appear at a memorial ceremony at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Illinois. However, the Illinois event was halted early due to a thunderstorm.
Lest we forget.
