Music Monday – Memorial Day

Today is Memorial Day, a day in the States where we honor and remember those who gave their lives for our country and our freedom. I have family and friends that have served in the US Armed Forces, mostly the Marines Corps. Both my grandfathers and my dad were marines, and today I wanna say thank you to all that have given your lives for the USA. I also wanna send love and thanks to the families of those who serve as well because your job is a hard one too.

Here are a few of my favorite Armed Force-ish themed songs. Sorry if you don't like country music, but hey, there aren't many hip-hop American loving songs out there.....

Toby Keith  “Call a Marine”

Dixie Chicks  “Travelin’ Soldier”

Toby Keith  “American Solider”

Big & Rich  “8th of November”

Tim McGraw  “If You’re Reading This”

“Amazing Grace” (Marine's Final Salute)"  (bagpipes)  *tissue warning*

Lee Greenwood  “God Bless the U.S.A.”

*wipes eyes* 

On a happier note, today is also my son's 8th birthday, and even though he can't read this blog, I will play the music for him. 
Happy Birthday Xman! You are my most favorite person in the whole wide world.  Mama loves you!!

“Ice Cream and Cake”
