Memorial Day 2022 Tribute: ER Precision Optic remembers and honors America’s fallen heroes. For this blog article, ER Precision Optics interrupts our normal schedule of technological and scientific blog articles.
Moreover, this is the perfect time to send you good wishes for the coming great American Holiday, Memorial Day, May 30th.
Additionally, we think a three-day weekend is not long enough to honor the fallen heroes of our military. Therefore, the ER owners and staff declare this entire week as a time to honor our country’s heroes. We must never forget the soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice of their lives in the line of duty.
Memorial Day 2022 Tribute: Patriotic Pause for our Fallen Soldiers
On Memorial Day, We Honor the Soldiers Who Made the Ultimate Sacrifice.
At ER Precision Optics, the owners and staff are not ashamed to admit we are patriots. In honor of the coming Memorial Day, we recall a great song of patriotism from Lee Greenwood. It’s called “God Bless the USA” and is also known as “Proud to be an American.”
The owners and staff of ER Precision Optics honor those brave American men and women with the words of Lee Greenwood.
“And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.”
America Celebrates Outdoor Season: Living the Freedom Won by Our Soldiers’ Sacrifice
On the one hand, Memorial Day weekend will bring Americans the chance to celebrate life with our families and friends. Likewise, the families here at ER Optics see Memorial Day as the beginning of the summer season. However, we know there is more to this time. It is a sacred holiday.
Originally society set up Memorial Day just to give us time to decorate the graves of our honored military dead.
“It is the first big holiday of the summer.” And it is filled with barbeques, festivals, park picnics, and backyard cook-outs.
Here in our part of the world, we will see gatherings on riverbanks, getaways to our beaches, and staycation parties in our own backyards. Thus, we commemorate our freedom fighters. However, we also celebrate them by enjoying the freedom they won.
Memorial Day 2022 Commemorates our Honored Military Dead
Moreover, there will also be parades, speeches, and commemorative ceremonies personalized for the fallen military. In every cemetery in America, we will see flags streaming. And families will place flowers on the graves of the people who died in battle. Briefly, we will hear the songs and stories of patriotism, war, and heroism.
You see, there in between all the fun, friends, family, and food, we all know it is really time to remember our heroic soldiers. And here at ER Optics, we realize that freedom is not really free.
A Memorial Day, 2022 Tribute from Our ER Optics Family to Your Family
ER Precision Optics: Committed to Our Fallen Heroes Everyday… Not Just Memorial Day.
Freedom was bought by the people who died in terrible battles. Most importantly, they made the ultimate sacrifice for our unique way of life in the United States.
“And I’d gladly stand up,
next to you, and defend her still today.
Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.”
Perhaps amid all the fun, we hope you can take a little time to put a flower on a soldier’s grave. By the way, you can check out the history behind this holiday, and other heroic facts at this informative online source.
ER Optics Presents: Three Things to Do for Your Family Memorial Day 2022 Remembrance
1. Firstly, Celebrate a Tradition of Courage: After your celebratory outing, this is a good weekend to watch a John Wayne movie, if you haven’t seen one lately! (…or even if you have…) Alternatively, update yourself with a look at our early history in Mel Gibson’s “The Patriot.”
2. Give a “Thank You for Your Service.” Give your best wishes to someone whose family member or friend has performed the ultimate act of heroism. Additionally, if you see any living soldiers, be sure to thank them for their service.
3. Put Honor in Your Appetite: Eat the fabulous traditional foods of hotdogs, hamburgers, potato salad, homemade ice cream, apple pie, and perhaps watermelon. (ER Optics asks, “Would it be politically incorrect to suggest a moment of silence or prayer for fallen heroes before the feast?”)
More Things to Do to Honor Our Military Fallen
Memorial Day is Also About Friends, Food, and Family. That’s Part of the Celebration of Freedom, So Costly Won.
4. Find Time to Honor the Brave Hearts. Why not check your local newspaper or Internet and see what ceremonies, parades, or unique events are being created by your community? You might be surprised.
5. Honor the Graves and the Red, White, and Blue.
One thing is certain, every national grave and monument, bank, and automobile dealership will be ablaze with American flags. This Holiday is not quite as big as our July 4th Independence Day. However, it is very important to the hearts of families in the United States. Moreover, many will be displaying flags at their businesses and homes.
6. A Special ER Optics Favorite Way to Honor the Holiday: Drive Safely! You know this holiday has a reputation for high-way danger.
Of course, we wish you the best of holiday times for Memorial Day 2022. Additionally, ER Optics cautions you to take care on the highways, by-ways, and back roads of Orlando, Florida, and everywhere in this Great Land.
As Silly as it Sounds– Sing for Your Memorial Day Tribute!
Rolling down the highway or sitting at home, the radio will connect you to patriotic music. Also, there will even be community programs with American traditional songs that celebrate this country. If you can’t sing, at least listen to patriotic songs.
As you listen, you might honor our fallen heroes. Thus, we predict you will feel a stir of ownership in this country. We do not mean physical property. To clarify, feeling a kinship and ownership in the freedom won by heroes who died for it. Music causes wonder.
Terrific Take-Aways from Our Memorial Day 2022 Tribute
Although we are a civilian company, we cherish close ties emotionally and financially with our military. Note the articles of this blog. See how we help helicopters and support airplanes for military and law enforcement.
We are also proud when the Department of Defense honors us with such contracts as the IDIQ contract for the M1A1 Thermal Imaging Windows.
Certainly, far beyond pride in our business association, we take this opportunity to thank the United States heroes, living and dead. We thank the ones who use our science, and technology. And we take pride that they use ER Precision Optics parts and services in defense of our great country. And finally, we show gratitude with every pound of germanium we recycle from US military war machines.
Memorial Day 2022 Menu: American Food for Thought
Never Forget. We Live in the Land of the Free Because This is the Home of the Brave!
Our blog cannot serve up barbequed ribs or grilled burgers. However, this tribute brings you three thought-provoking Memorial Day 2022 Quotes.
- Former President James A. Garfield said, “For the love of country, they accepted death and thus resolved all doubts, and made immortal their patriotism and their virtue.”
- Franklin D. Roosevelt reminds us, that we owe a debt on this holiday. “Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget in time that men have died to win them.”
- Thomas Campbell wrote, “The patriot’s blood is the seed of freedom’s tree.”
Perhaps the words of Ronald Reagan captured our best and most appropriate sentiment for Memorial Day 2022.
He declared, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We did not pass it to our children in the bloodstream.”
Then he added, “It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same…”
And he concluded with a chilling thought. “…or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
Once again, we of ER Precision Optics salute, and honor our fallen soldiers in this tribute. Likewise, we wish you, our readers, vendors, business associates, and families and friends, “Have a Happy Holiday commemoration of Memorial Day, 2022.
