Thank You Will Never Be Enough

imgflip.com/i/14z8ui This one deserves a look as well!

I was thinking that this is so special we should gather up all the Memorial tributes and share them here. Here is mine imgflip.com/i/14xdm5 there are 6 or 7 more great ones out there. I hope they join you here.

I love this idea!!

Here is H2O's. I hope he doesn't mind me bringing it to the gathering. imgflip.com/i/14zde8

No way, this should be more true to Australia. Darwin, Townsville, Port Hedland and Sydney were all attacked by Japan during WWII. Thanks to the bravery of a small AUSTRALIAN battalion, Japan didn't reach Port Moresby in PNG and Australia therefore wasn't isolated. That was the first victory against Japan in that war. Now, when was US's freedom threatened?

When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Yes it was the only time during the war that the U.S. was attacked specifically.but thats only cause it ended when it did. If not the Germans where planning V2 Rockets that could be launched from submarines so they could attack America

They were actually using them on Britain. But America faced no full threat. They may have later but first Japan continuing south towards Australia. New Zealand and the rest of the Pacific Isles would have been the next target THEN the US, but the reason they didn't was because of Australia's 2/39th Battalion.

they had V2s. A. it was to late in the war for subs. B. A V2 is Ginormous

Why you beating a dead horse ? That post is months old
.....

Oregon was targeted for invasion by the Japanese. Thanks to the high numbers of gun owners and the fact that Yamamoto was partially educated by in America he nixed that part of the plan saying it would be too costly because "There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass" However Oregon was bombed by balloons launched from Japan and also took a few rounds from a submarine. Now maybe if all the Aussies had guns like the Oregonians did the Japanese would not have considered invading. :-) Also the Japanese did land and occupy a U.S. Territory. Two islands in the Aluetian Island chain of Alaska. Granted, Alaska was not yet a State but it was a defacto part of the U.S. The Japanese were there nearly a year. http://www.history.com/topics/world-war-ii/battle-of-the-aleutian-islands

Just stop there, Australia was more in danger than the US, get over it, end of story.

How about we all not argue about who had it worse and share the stories of those who sacrifice themselves to save their respective countries. I come from Canada and we didn't face much of a threat but I still think that arguing over who had it worst is the wrong thing to do on a day for remembrance.

Alright, fine

Story behind this meme. I followed our VFW and Our boy scouts around yesterday to do a newspaper story as they placed flags on the graves of our veterans. The amount of flags they placed was crazy, the amount of recognition the graves had other than the flags was just sad.

Same in my town. The whole cemetery was littered with red white and blue by the time they were finished.

I would choose the word "DECORATED" not littered.

True, but it's kind of hard to accurately describe it. Half the cemetery, it's kind of sad.

Littered like spread around, or like placed purposely but a lot of them?

Purposefully but a lot.

Never forget that not only we, but soldiers dragged into a war they could not escape died, for a place or freedom they never gained.

Thanks bro.

No problem even in a world of war there's always a light

...only patriots who earned our respect and thanks.

They are all the same to me. I don't see atheists as more or less of a human, and their accomplishments do not mean any less. I do hold out hope for you though :)

My grandfather was drafted into the military during the Vietnam war, and he was an atheist. At times of stress on the battlefield, he still didn't believe in a higher power. He put his faith in his family, and the soldiers fighting alongside him. In none of that time did he believe in God.

You and I disagree on a lot, but I think we can both agree, he is worthy of honor and respect.

LOL, BUSTED!!!

I was thinking me, you calling me out on the "subtle" troll. lol
