Today, in the midst of picnics and barbeques and vacation preparations, we pause to gratefully remember those people who paved the way for our freedom. The daring men and their wives and families way back in the 1770s made this land the United State of America, with liberty and justice for all. We honor those who went off to war in the Great World Wars; my maternal grandfather was a WWI sharpshooter, and his son in the Navy during WWII. My middle son served in the US Navy during the first Desert Storm. They all came home to their waiting and praying families. Not all had that chance. We remember and honor them.
But today, I must also remember those with Alzheimer's Disease. These people are imprisoned in a mental torture chamber where family and friends no longer exist. If they do remember, many times the recollection is distorted and puzzling..and painful for the loved ones to watch.
Help us in our walk to end Alzheimer's Disease..to help make people free from the prisons of memory loss. Help us raise multiple thousands of dollars to support this association's efforts.
We remember....they can't.
