I am Forever Grateful

This Memorial Day weekend

may we always remember

its

true meaning

and

never

forget the sacrifice

of so many

brave men and woman

the folded flag that I have painted

here

should always remind us

of

WHAT we have

and

WHY

we have it

I have painted these candle sconces

using a

John Sliney Design

called

Forever Grateful

I will be forver grateful to the brave men and women

who have served

and

continue to serve this great country of ours

Memorial Day

is a

 DAY OR REMEMBERANCE

for those who have died in our

Nations service

They gave their lives for their country

and never came home from the war

Memorial Day

once called Decoration Day

was first observed on May 30, 1868

when flowers were first placed

on the graves of  Union and Confederate Soldiers

at

Arlington National Cemetary

To help remind  Americans of the holiday’s true meaning,

a National Moment of Remembrance resolution

 was passed 10 years ago, suggesting that at 3 p.m. local time,

 Americans observe a moment of remembrance and respect,

 pausing from whatever they are doing for a

few seconds of silence or to listen to taps.

Be safe this weekend

and

please

remember

to be

FOREVER GRATEFUL

Happy Painting!
