Memorial Day Weekend:

“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.”  Mark Twain.   This is an abridged version of a quotation from Russia’s Czar Nicholas II.   Barack Obama used this quote in June of 2008 with this explanation:  “….when our laws, our leaders or our government are out of alignment with our ideals, then the dissent of ordinary Americans may prove to be one of the truest expression of patriotism.”   This Memorial Day Weekend, in memory of those who put their lives on the line for this country, let’s recommit to aligning our lives with our ideals!   Source:  www.quotery.com
