Thank you, Jamie, for bringing up this point. This day is so much more than just a day off of work or school - it's a lot bigger and more important that we remember those who serve their country, and that we keep them in our hearts. Thank you :)

My dad fought for his country. Now he's numb, hollow, empty. He says the alcohol helps. I just don't think he knows how to feel anymore.

God bless all the soilders that fight for our country.
May God be with them when they are away from their family and friends fighting for our country.
Help them when they come home for many of them feel a sense of loneliness or loss.
Without Our soilders we wouldnt be where we are today.
Thank you for everything you guys do.
--with love

I love this organization, and can not wait to apply for an intern position when I am of age. This really does show people love is out there and sometimes we may have to fight for it, but what would be the point of living in the first place if we didn't have to put up a fight. We all need to know that we are not alone. A smart friend of mine once said, "1 is better than 0" and it's true. If the one friend you have is God, look up and have hope in your heart. Thank you, Jamie. Bless your soul and all who have the chance to listen to your words. Amen.

How could I forget those who gave their lives for my peace and safety?
Steve is currently in afganastan.
Chad is home from Iraq.
Keith is home from Iraq.
Robert is home from Iraq.

All these people are my loved ones. Everytime I see them or another soldier...I see a hero. =]
Thanks Jamie! <3

Thank you, Jamie, for those words...a reminder that we so often take for granted all that we really are blessed with. Its at times like these that I am most proud to be an American, and so very thankful that I can go to sleep at night safe. God bless the all the troops and God bless America.

And God bless you Jamie:) You may not be in Iraq, but you too are fighting for our lives through TWLOHA, and that is more than enough to call you a true hero. Thank you. You truly have no idea how much you do, not only for me, but for millions out there. <3

Jamie that was amazing and so true my dad is in the Air Force and it's awesome to see that there are people out there who actually appreciate the armed forces because sometimes it's almost like those people don't exist. Wow thank you so much for those inspiring words

Jamie, you're so amazing. You always know the right thing to say in times of difficulty for so many.

I have many relatives who have served this country. Granet I don't really agree with it, but they do what they feel is right so I respect them for it.

Thank you Jamie for reminding us what's important about the other day.

I currently have a cousin stationed in North Carolina, and I thank him every day in my prayers. Memorial Day has always been rough for me since my cousin was killed over in Iraq. I know everyone leaves for a reason, but I have yet come across his. But what is done is done, correct, and there is no changing it what-so-ever.

18 | Left by Miranda | May. 27, 2009 at 7:15am

Thank you, Jamie. Memorial Day is a very important holiday for America. Most people don't even take the time to think about the war. It is real. There is a real sacrifice. People are lost, and missed.

19 | Left by Laura | May. 27, 2009 at 10:36am

You always speak the truth jamie and its no different this time. You've got a great way of expressing your feelings poeticly. I will remember the fallen soldiers and the fighting ones. They've gone trough so much and they deserve at least our thoughts and prayers. Memorial Day is so important and most people don't recognize it in that way. Most people will just say, "Oh, it's a three day weekend!" like you mentioned, but it's so much more than that.
<3 always,
Annalisa

Hey found your site through Post Secret, someones secret was posted on one of your cards. Anyhow you are doing a great thing. I am recovered from many years of SI and depression. I found myself and then discovered what I like to do, now there is not enough time in the day for me to do all that I want to do. Keep the hope alive for those who can't for themselves, they will grab it back someday.

Thanks so much for posting this....these men and women come back, never to return to the lives they once knew. They can come back, hug their families, and completely not connect. Sure, they might make it back alive, but are they truly alive when nothing seems real anymore? When they thoughts and memories are trapped back in the war zones? I think these men and women deserve so much more love, admiration, and respect than we could ever even express. So kudos to you for making a point of bringing this to the forefront. God Bless

Jamie, thank you. This means, beyond words, so much. My husband has been deployed to Afghanistan since September of last year, and he's developed PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). He's coming home soon, and I'm terrified of what this deployment has done to him. But I know that I can help him through it, because of the strength TWLOHA's vision has given me. He's a veteran now, after being in a war zone for 180 days. I'm so, so proud of him. I could never in my life imagine anything better than being an Army wife. I thank God every day for the heart-breaking, courageous, ultimate sacrifice my husband is making just to give his family a good life. And all the other incredible young men and women who fight along side him. Not to mention every single person who's protected this country since it's birth.

I honestly cannot tell you how much this blog means to me. It gives me hope that there are more people for our soldiers than against them. I'm going to send this to my husband tonight, so he can see how much his sacrifice is appreciated.

Thank you, again.

I just now read this and jsut want to say thank you. Im a girlfriend of a Soldier who will be returning back home from Iraq in a little more then a week and this really touched my heart. In a country that has taken for granted our freedom its so refreshing to see someone who has made such a huge difference stand up and say something about honoring and appriciating our service men...They are the true vision of a Hero.

God Bless

Thank you.

i think people sometimes take the freedom they have for granted. we need to be more grateful for all that our soldiers have done for us. my cousin is leaving for Iraq next month, and i'm gonna miss her like heck. i pray that she'll return home safely :) please everyone pray for our soldiers and their families.
