In love of country, shedding blood, off dying in some climb of mud. We come to watch a mother's tear, for someone special she holds dear, Roll down its path on a grief stained face, where pain and pride contend with grace. In F lander's Fields still poppies blow, between crosses, row on row. Where gallant men, beneath the sod, await the bugle call of God. Your quarrel with the foe is done, you ran the race, your crown is won. We caught your torch; we hold it high. We'll do so ' till the day we die. Like Moses with his mighty staff, you fought the wrongs on right's behalf. You showed by deed to all the world, our FLAG'S true strength when once unfurled. This day our country sets aside, to honor you with prayer and pride. The memories of life's young spring, are roses now that makes hearts sing! Now go to sleep and slumber on; your troubles here below are gone. Your rifle has been put to rest; you marched to heaven with the best. With patron saints to welcome you, all spangled in red, white and blue! You lived a patriotic role, and set for us an awesome goal! And so today, we gather here, to honor those we hold quite dear. To conjure up the joyful past, and strainto make each mem ' ry last. We march ourp'rade a country mile, and call to mind a parting smile. This solemn gathering each year, consoles old hearts with farming cheer. Dear Father of the good and brave, give us the strength that we behave The way our honored dead have done, and run the race that we have won! To love our country, neighbor, too, and recognizes our debt to You. And Father, at Your final call, may we join heroes in their Hall! by Walter G. O'Connell In memory of those men and women of Bethpage and all across our country who gave their lives for their country so that we all may live in freedom.

It also to many is the official start of the summer season and warmer weather. What we need to remember, however, is that although it is fun participate in all these family events; we need to remember the true meaning and the real significance of Memorial Day. You see on this day we all need to pause and reflect as well as give thanks to so many men and women who bravely gave their lives to our country to insure the freedoms that we enjoy and cherish so much today. The men and women of our armed forces throughout history are the true heroes that we all need to remember and pay tribute to on Memorial as well as ever day of the year. And this is the lesson that we need to teach our children. We cannot let future generations forget the supreme sacrifice that so many gave for their country. Our children need to be aware of how many men and women came home from war maimed in body and spirit. They need to remember the courage and strength that they all had as well as the horrors they had to endure. We can not let future generations forget the importance and the significance of our flag and we need to make sure that our children give our Veterans and our flag the respect and honor they so rightly deserve. And we must teach them these lessons so that they never forget. I truly believe that in order to know where you are going you must first know where you've been. That is why, to me, it is so important to make sure that the respect and adoration we have for the Veterans of our country is never diminished and never forgotten as time goes on. It is our obligation as Americans to make sure that the legacy of our Veterans is never forgotten. We live in a country that enjoys so many precious freedoms. We worship as we wish, we speak our minds and we are able to actively participate in our democracy through our right to vote. These freedoms were not simply handed to us. They are privileges and rights that we cherish because we received them through the blood, sweat and tears of so many Veterans and their families who fought long and hard and sacrificed so much. You see, freedom is not free. It wasn't free then and it is not free today. These brave men and women believed so deeply in what they were fighting for that they were willing to give up their lives. The commitment they had to their country is something that no one should ever take for granted or ever forget. So this Memorial Day, enjoy your picnic and take part in our annual parade, but above all take a moment to remember why this day is so important. Think about the men and women who fought for this country and for each of us. Think about the gift of freedom, which was given to all of us by our Veterans, and thank them. Thank them by remembering their sacrifice. Thank them by saluting the flag they fought for and thank them by never ever forgetting what it is they did for our country and all of us who are blessed to be part of this wonderful country. God bless all of our Veterans. We salute their spirit, their dedication, and their courage and thank them for the sacrifices they all made for all of us. ( DufYou Know... - The number of U.

Data courtesy of the U. S. Census Bureau THE HISTORY OF MEMORIAL DAY Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day because it was a time set aside to honor the nation's Civil War dead by decorating their graves. It was first widely observed on May 30,1868, to commemorate the sacrifices of Civil War soldiers, by proclamation of General John A. Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of former sailors and soldiers. On May 5, 1868, Logan declared in General Order No. 11 that: The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit. During the first celebration of Decoration Day, General James Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery, after which 5,000 participants helped to decorate the graves of the more than 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers buried in the cemetery. This 1868 celebration was inspired by local observances of the day in several towns throughout American that had taken place in the three years since the Civil War. In fact, several Northern and Southern cities claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day, including Columbus, Miss.; Macon, Ga.; Richmond, Va.; Boalsburg, Pa.; and Carbondale, III. In 1966, the federal government, under the direction of President Lyndon Johnson, declared Waterloo, N. Y., the official birthplace of Memorial Day. They chose Waterloo - which had first celebrated the day on May 5,1866 - because the town had made Memorial Day an annual, community- wide event during which businesses closed and residents decorated the graves of soldiers with flowers and flags. By the late 1800s, many communities across the country had begun to celebrate Memorial Day and, after World War I, observances also began to honor those who had died in all of America's wars. In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday to be celebrated the last Monday in May. ( Veterans Day, a day set aside to honor all veterans, living and dead, is celebrated each year on November 11.) Today, Memorial Day is celebrated at Arlington National Cemetery with a ceremony in which a small American flag is placed on each grave. Also, it is customary for the president or vice- president to give a speech honoring the contributions of the dead and lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. About 5,000 people attend the ceremony annually.

Their missions were flown At a terrible cost, And mankind is grateful To those who were lost, Those crews who spun earthward Wrapped in smoke and in flames Leaving hometowns far distant To honor their names. One of those ball turret gunners we know Who survived that war And returned long ago; Came home to Long Island Where he earned new found fame Writing pamphlets and booklets Proudly bearing his name.

The lengthy debate concerning the fate of Terri Schiavo, a Florida woman who was incapacitated for over fifteen years before her demise/ death, has brought many issues to the forefront. " That case demonstrated the great importance of having a Living Will in place," said David P. Lesch of Lesch & Lesch. " If Ms. Schiavo had a Living Will, there is a strong possibility that the uncertainty involving her personal decision and the pain of her loved one's suffering could have been avoided." So, what steps should one take to create a Living Will? Lesch & Lesch recommends the following 5 tips: 1. Choose your advocate wisely - Make sure you select an individual who will stand by your decisions and fight on your behalf. You may also want to choose a back- up in case something happens to your primary advocate. 2. Leave no room for interpretation - Make sure that your Living Will is comprehensive and clearly outlines your desire for medical attention in a variety of situations. Be clear and specific in conveying what you want. 3. Keep it updated - As you become older, you may have different beliefs and priorities. You should consult the document at least once a year to see if anv changes need to be made. 4. Don't keep it to yourself - Discuss your wishes with family members, friends and doctors. It may also be beneficial to make copies of your will and give them to appropriate individuals. 5. Consult the professionals - If you write the will yourself, it's always best to consult a legal professional to ensure that the document is valid. ' Though nobody wants to think about being involved in tragedy, the uncertainties in life deem it prudent for one to create a Living Will," commented Mr. Lesch. " Having a thorough legal document outlining the actions you want taken will ensure that you receive the treatment you want and the respect you deserve should you become unable to speak for yourself." About Lesch & Lesch, PC Founded in 1966, Lesch & Lesch, P. C. has established itself as the most advanced, full- service law firm in Bronx County dedicated to providing the highest quality legal assistance to its clients.

White Funeral Home, Inc. Garner, Elizabeth ( or Liz Garner as she preferred to be called) was never one to take " no" for an answer. A resident of Farmingdale, she graduated Hofstra University with a degree in Elementary Education. Liz ( age 48) passed away in her sleep on the morning of May 6, 2005. It will not be her passing that people will remember it will be her deep enthusiastic love of the arts, people and life that will bring forth smiles for years to come. Despite losing her vision to diabetes at age 28, Miss Garner's greatest accomplishments were to come after an event that would have left most bitter. It merely proved to be a catalyst as Liz would go on to travel the country participating in sporting events for the blind, including per personal passion, swimming. She became a featured speaker and regular representative for the Smithtown Guide Dog Foundation and was featured in over a dozen newspaper articles and photographs for her hard work assisting others. She became a lobbyist in both Washington, D. C. and Albany, for the Americans with Disabilities Acts, and was featured on television shows such as ' The God Squad." A huge supporter of the arts, undoubtedly formed when she studied Television Production at Nassau Community College in the late 70s, Liz owned thousands of CDs and was a loyal fan of live theatre, musical performances and stand- up comedy, absorbing as much as she could find time for and enthusiastically introducing others to all areas of the arts. She was also very active in the Massapequa Park Lions Club, and seemed to be the first person to buy tickets to every fundraiser she encountered. Liz is survived by her husband, Bill Hilton, mother Edith, brother Steven, sister Allison and brother in law, Bruce. A Service with Rev. Paul and Jan ( a childhood friend) Gilbert presiding was held Monday, May 9, at the Arthur F. White Funeral Home. Donations in Liz's memory may be sent to the Lions Club of Massapequa Park.

No. 2 ranked Alabama prepares to take on an Auburn team that has yet to win an SEC game this season. While Crimson Tide fans have already written off the 3-8 Tigers head coach, Nick Saban, was quick to bring everyone back to earth.
"We are not in any conversations about anything other than the game we are playing," Saban said. "Unless we win the next game, we don't have another game. We are trying to work our way into a conversation by how we play. We are not trying to hold a position. We are trying to create one."
The Alabama football program continues to emphasize ignoring outside talk. Although it's close to impossible to shutout all the noise, the team said their only focused on Auburn.
"We're not fans so we are focused on this game," said C.J. Mosley. "We just try to focus on every week and each game that we are playing."
The 77th Iron Bowl will kickoff at 2:30 Saturday afternoon in Bryant-Denny Stadium.

text: The Sports Bra ExpertBoobology 101: Basic Anatomy> back Introducing Champion's Sports Bra Expert - LaJean Lawson In 1977, Champion Activewear invented the first sports bra, called the Jogbra®, made from two jockstraps sewn together. The realization that women also needed support for their assets was the catalyst for Champion Activewear to apply innovation and technology to become the leader in the sports bra market. In 1977, runner LaJean Lawson had just finished her first marathon with bleeding sores on her shoulders and chest from a bra that did anything but support. Her search for a solution eventually led to the discovery of her life's passion–sports bras! Today, Champion Activewear is thrilled to offer Dr. Lawson as a resource to help you solve your sports bra problems. While Dr. Lawson has gained critical knowledge from scientific research, the best education she's had about sports bra needs has come from the thousands of women she has spoken to at races and events, as well as those who help her test Champion products. Whether it's your shoes or your sports bra, your workout happiness depends on finding the gear that's just right for your size and activity level, and that's exactly why we're here to help! |
