Memorial Day, A Day Brings Deep Meaning

28 May

May 28, 2012
Knight Ridder/Tribune| by Nick Nichols

Americans have always answered the call to arms, beginning with the fight for freedom by 13 colonies on home soil after 1776.
The nation’s fervor for freedom has never paled, not against the strong push of Nazi Germany’s Third Reich or the suicide forces of al-Qaida in the Mideast. Americans have always been willing to give their all for the protection of home and family, for the preservation of freedom.
But war has it costs, and no one knows that better than the men and women in the Armed Forces who have seen it first hand. They are the people who left the safety of their homes to stop an enemy thousands of miles away.
Many of them never made it back, and to those who fought alongside them, the ones who returned, today, Memorial Day, has a deeper meaning.  FOR MORE CLICK HERE

New Mexico governor urges fire cautions on holiday weekend

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Gov. Susana Martinez is urging New Mexicans to use common sense this holiday weekend to avoid sparking new wildfires.

A massive blaze is raging in the Gila National Forest, but the number of fires on state and private land is down from last year.

Martinez and other state officials on Friday reminded New Mexicans to exercise caution with camp fires, and never walk away from a fire that’s smoldering. Motorists should pull over only on developed areas along roads rather than in grass, which can catch fire from a vehicle’s exhaust system.

A lightning-caused fire in the Gila has burned more than 130 square miles, and officials say it could continue burning for weeks. Fire officials have been unable to make progress containing the blaze because of heavy winds.
