Dear Fox and Friends, This is a photo of me being given the American Flag at my dad’s memorial service yesterday, May 28. My dad served in WWII on the USN ship YMS 302. My mom passed away a year before and she was a riveter at the Glenn L. Martin-Nebraska bomber factory, riveting the wings on the fuselage of the B29s. They were interred together yesterday. Together forever. God bless America and American patriots.![DO NOT USE]()

Memorial Day takes on a whole new meaning this year. On June 4, 2020, our son, who had just celebrated his 19th birthday, was killed in a car accident on his way to PT at Fort Carson. Even though we have military family, we had not experienced a military death. Now we wholly understand the meaning of this day. The importance of sharing with loved ones what this day is about. For all the soldiers who never got to see tomorrow, we will remember. Gold star mother, Milissa Guyon![DO NOT USE]()

The Warriors of Chaos Veterans Motorcycle Club (www.warriorsofchaosvmc.com) will be in Washington, D.C., our nation's capital, this Memorial Day weekend to show our respect for those who gave all and to support those in need. Although every day should be a day to honor the fallen for the freedom we have, this year it's proving more important that we understand what these unselfish, brave men and women afforded us and the role each of us must play in maintaining it. God Bless the USA. Respectfully, Keith Reed![DO NOT USE]()

My father, Norman Brewster was shot down over Germany on 17, August, 1943, while on a mission to take out a ball bearing plant in a combined mission to Schweinfurt and Regensburg.

The photo of the crew in front of their plane shows my father in the front, bottom, left of the picture. The second photo shows what was left of the plane in Germany, following being shot down.

Attached is a photograph of Capt. Lloyd Brooks Mitchell in September, 1943. He had just returned to the states after completing 25 missions as a navigator on a B-17. 80% casualties! He is seeing me, Brooks Mitchell, for the first time. Notice however he doesn't seem too interested in me. Look at the gaze in his eyes on my mother. It's been a long time since he had seen her and I think he's more interested in her than me at this particular time. Classic!![DO NOT USE]()

Alois J. Mand, a highly decorated World War II hero proudly displayed his Purple Heart license plate. In addition to the Purple Heart, he also received the Distinguished Service Cross, The Bronze Star and numerous other medals. Our dad/grandfather was born and raised in Wisconsin in the village of St. Peter. He died nearly 20 years ago - just weeks before 9/11.

Hello Fox Friends, For most people, Memorial Day means the beginning of the summer with fun, food, family and friends. And showing love for our country and those who served who did not come home. Memorial Day is bittersweet for me as I lost my Dad onMemorial Day back in 1986. He was a proud American who taught me love, respect and honor for America. He worked tirelessly with Disabled Vets through his time with the Union, NJ ELKS. My Dad, Frank Clemente, had a massive heart attack while carrying the American Flag marching in the Memorial Day Parade. As sad a his sudden passing was for us, I could not have written a better ending for my Dad for his time on this plant. With his friends and family showing his love for his America.![DO NOT USE]()

This Memorial Day we will be gathering with family and friends at our fifth-generation family commercial fishing dock in Sebastian, Florida, where we proudly have on display a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted stainless steel sculpture of an American soldier. This soldier sculpture was handcrafted and welded by my husband (with assistance from our son), and took more than 2000 man hours to create out of stainless steel. The sculpture represents all American soldiers from the Revolutionary war to the present. There are dog tags from each of the major conflicts with the number of soldiers lost on each dog tag, totaling more than 1.3 million soldiers lost. In addition, the soldier is equipped with equipment and weapons representative of each time period. It is our pleasure and honor to share this with the public and Veterans from all branches of the service. Veterans have been flocking to to site and have been adding their signature to the wooden planks that the soldier is standing on. God bless America and thank you to all that have paid the ultimate price for our freedom.![DO NOT USE]()
As a US citizen and Navy veteran who lives in Ontario, Canada, my Memorial Day tradition includes driving to Western New York to help place flags on graves of veterans. My brother, LT Keith Maitland, flew F/A-18s for the Navy and helped to liberate Kuwait during Desert Storm after Saddam Hussein invaded the country in 1991. Keith (call sign: VIKTOR) died May 28, 1992 after his Hornet suffered a catastrophic bird-strike and his ejection seat/parachute failed. The anniversary of his death frequently falls on Memorial Day weekend. This year marks the second I have been unable to place flags and help decorate his grave due to the pandemic and closed US/Canada border. Sincerely, Scott B. Maitland![DO NOT USE]()
