Memorial Day

I think there is an increasing tendency for people in the U.S. to overlook the underlying event(s) and focus on the "day off" nature of the national holidays. With fewer and fewer people serving in the military and a very unpopular war in Iraq, it is probably particularly true of Memorial Day. Take a moment on Monday to remember and give thanks for all who have given their lives for this country. While the U.S. may occasionally fight the wrong wars, nobody died for the wrong reason. They served their country when it called upon them.

eMail Our Military is a foundation that supports U.S. military personnel oversees. Babble Soft and eMail our Military have joined forces to offer free subscriptions to Babble Soft applications for active duty service members with newborns. Babble Soft provides web and mobile applications for new parents. More details are here.

I found this story about eMail Our Military on a memorial day post at A VC. Who says VCs don't have heart.

Thank you Robert for mentioning our partnership with www.eMailOurMilitary.com. It's true that often people forget the reasons for a holiday. We hope people are reminded of the babies and families who do their part by staying behind while their spouses do what they are told and think is right to protect our homefront!

Thanks for taking the time to post about Memorial day and for mentioning eMail Our Military. We actually support service members at home and abroad in all branches of the military. Teaming up with Babble Soft was second nature and their applications will be of great benefit to our military familes.
