Before you rush off to the beach this weekend, won't you take a few minutes to remember those who've made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms? I'm not much of a writer any more but I've done some posts in the past I think are worth mentioning again. My favorites:

• The Final Inspection

• A weekend trilogy

• We made it to Arlington

I also can't let you miss:

• Sixty-Two Years and Two Hard Words

• The Folded Flag

See more of my past Memorial Day posts here and here, and some previous related Old War Dogs posts here.

New this year on other sites:

• "We are their heirs"

• We Left Our Youth on the Beach

• Remembrance, gratitude, fortitude

• Mystic Chords of Memory

• On Dying And Continuing To Be Alive

• Memorial Day: Honoring The Fallen

• Memorial Day - The 173rd Airborne in Viet Nam

• 'Rolling Thunder' Honors U.S. Military With Annual Biker Pilgrimage
