Today was rough during the parade and the ceremonies afterwards. Not ashamed to say yes, I broke down and cried...
BTW, yes I'm a VET

Thanks everyone I always try to be strong on Memorial Day to honor my buddy Steve - he'd want it that way! But this year I couldn't... I think Steve would have understood... and that doesn't include the tears for all the other fallen brothers/sisters WE lost as a nation!

@duglop

Crying is not a sign of weakness, so don't ever be ashamed of your tears.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your service. 💕🇺🇲

@duglop I’m sorry it was hard however please commend yourself your honest strength in letting yourself feel ❤️

Thank you always for your service ❤️🇺🇸

@Isces1 Thank you! I always try to be strong on Memorial Day to honor my buddy Steve - he'd want it that way! But this year I couldn't... I think Steve would have understood... and that doesn't include the tears for all the other fallen brothers/sisters WE lost as a nation!

@duglop @Isces1
I think grief is often a fitting tribute to the love for those we have lost.
As a society, we accept that people in the armed services can both be gone too soon and at the necessary moment.
Big hug 💚

@duglop Ya man... be sure to reach out to a buddy if you need to... always a tough time - try to remember and talk about the good times. Let it out, brother there is no shame in that.

@duglop Much peace and calm to you on this day 💙❤️
