Let none of us forget that Memorial Day is a time to remember the Americans who gave their lives to preserve our freedom, and we can\u2019t forget our wounded warriors, either.<\/p>\n
Yes, we\u2019re still fighting our own politicians to keep some of those rights, as any gun owner who has listened to Hillary Clinton\u2019s rants against the NRA (and, by extension, its five million plus members). But we can\u2019t shape our future if we don\u2019t understand our past.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t particularly need <\/em>to do any shooting on Memorial Day, but I always try to do so. The sound of gunfire in good people\u2019s hands is the sound of freedom, a one-gun salute to those who gave their lives for the rights we enjoy.<\/p>\n Feel free to share here your plans for recognizing Memorial Day, as well as your memories of those in your family and circle of friends whose sacrifices we honor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let none of us forget that Memorial Day is a time to remember the Americans who gave their lives to preserve our freedom, and we can\u2019t forget our wounded warriors, either.
