(Steve Breen- San Diego Union-Tribune)Just wanted to take this opportunity to wish everybody a good and safe Memorial Day weekend from Not Another New England Sports Blog!
Some of the more astute observers of this blog might recognize the above image as the same one I had up for Memorial Day weekend last year. Although I'll cop to being a fairly lazy individual, it wasn't laziness that prompted me to post the same image for a 2nd year in a row. I thought it was a well done piece by editorial cartoonist Steve Breen of the San Diego Union-Tribune and I figured I'd like to share it with some of the newer visitors to this blog who may not have had a chance to see it before.
If you're a veteran such as myself or just a big supporter of the troops in general, I thought I'd leave you with a couple of links to some veterans and supports organizations for your perusal.
Wounded Warrior Project
Operation Homefront
Home Base Program
Semper Fi Fund
SUDS- Soldiers Undertaking Disabled Scuba
Project Healing Waters
I like the line you use at your image "We come to not mourn our dead soldiers, but to praise them". It's simple but absolutely true. They fight for our country and they die for it, so we must salute them for sacrificing their own lives for the benefits of many.
