MEMORIAL DAY 2012 Every year more of our soldiers are called to their final rest. Veterans of the wars fought to keep our Country safe and free. If it were not for them...giving their best..and sometimes their all...Americans would not be able to enjoy our Freedoms with our families, friends and neighbors. Their sacrifices were not in vain and, our soldiers are today, still on guard and fighting to protect those Freedoms both at home and in far away countries we only hear about in the evening news. Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (on May 28 in 2012). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the civil war), it was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action. A national moment of remembrance takes place at 3 p.m. Eastern Time. Another tradition is to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff from dawn until noon local time. Volunteers often place American flags on each gravesite at National Cemeteries. Many Americans also use Memorial Day to honor other family members who have died. At our home we fly the Stars and Stripes every day. For Memorial Day, a special flag flys...a flag that recently flew over an American Military Base in far away Kandahar, Afghanistan, given to us by an American Soldier...Seabee Lance Pruknal...who is also a toy train operator and a friend. America's Soldiers serve in 5 branches of service...United States Army - United States Air Force - United States Coast guard - United States Marine Corps - United States Navy. Each has their own hymn or anthem... During this Memorial Day 2012, take the time to shake the hand of a Veteran...say thanks for all his or her sacrifices. And for those in our families who have answered the final call, perhaps a few moments of silence in respect of their memory. I am sure everyone can remember those relatives who have had their final roll-call, for me it is… my dad Walter/US ARMY who fought in WWII at the Battle of the Bulge and across Europe, my father-in-law Mickey in WWII/US Navy in Europe, my Uncle Mike/US ARMY in WWII on Iwo Jima and across the Pacific, my uncle Joey/US ARMY post-war on the DEW line in Alaska, my uncle-in-law Andy/US ARMY in WWII with General Patton and my uncle-in-law John/US ARMY in WWII the Phillipines...with deepest eternal gratitude to them and all our Veterans and Soldiers everywhere. To all the fallen brave men and women of our Armed Forces, may they forever rest at peace in the 'arms of an angel'. Recently we became aware of a truly inspiring program that captures the essence of a soldier being 'over there. Although created in 2007 during the Gulf War with pictures and music that are both truly awesome and 'touch the heart', it can be applicable to wherever a soldier is fighting for our Freedom. May God bless and protect our soldiers and keep them safe when in harm's way. Thank you. Walter USAR 714th TBROS&DE NJ ARNG 3rd Armor 50th BTN.

Why Should You Choose RMT by AristO for your 0-27/0 gauge trains... RMT is a family owned company that features high quality but affordably priced 0-27/0 gauge trains for the toy train operator or collector. If you remember those toy trains that held a special appeal under the Christmas tree of your youth...do not worry as RMT also remembers. Using many years of actual prototype railroading experience combined with 21st Century manufacturing ability has allowed RMT to offer what many toy train hobbyists are calling the best 0-27 gauge toy trains available in today's marketplace. RMT features colorful paint schemes in those many railroads that criss-crossed America...with names that were a geography lesson (remember geography?) as you read the boxcars that rolled by. Set up a toy train layout on the floor, get down close and watch those trains run by. Close your eyes and remember how it was when you were a child operating your toy trains. RMT offers a wide assortment of toy trains, tracks, buildings and accessories to share this wonderful hobby with your children, grandchildren, family and friends. Rather than just offer 3 or 4 roadnames in a freight car...RMT offers at least 20 different RRs in every car type so you can choose shortlines, regional favorites or mainline giants. Each railroad depicted on an RMT locomotive, passenger car or freight car is a realistic model of the 'real thing'. Fully painted in each railroad's colors with logos and lettering that recreate the prototype but in model form. When you contact or visit with RMT at a train show or hobby shop display, there is a good chance you will talk to me - Walter, the company president. I like trains and have spent many years 'on the railroad'. If you have a problem - question - concern or suggestion...call me and I will try my best to help. *********************************************************** Welcome to the RMT by AristO® ON-LINE Store...affordable and durable O/0-27 Gauge 3-Rail Electric Toy Trains.
