Dear Kathleen, Thank you very much for your rememberance letter regarding our ancestors and the ancestors of those from different lands and cultures. I do believe that if all of us would gain the same perspective about the importance of genealogy and the diversity of others, that we would all be reminded of just how close we all really are,and thus,ultimately related to one another. God Bless You, Yours, and Ours as we share the same feelings this weekend, Love, Patti Goodman (Pierce, Roberts, Jackson, Gaither, Coonrod, Pruitt, Zumwalt, Widner, Foster, Gay, Zumwalt, Drestern, Bowden, etc., etc., etc.,) McSwain ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathleen Burnett Sent: Friday, May 25, 2001 9:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ARSHARP] From List Mom Regarding Memorial Day Postings Dear List Members, Remember as you think about posting a message to the list regarding Memorial Day, that some of our members are not from the United States. We have members from England, Canada, Mexico, Scotland, Ireland and Australia, just to name a few. Please keep this in mind as you send your messages regarding honoring those of our ancestors who fought in wars, served in the military and gave their lives for our beliefs and for the freedoms we hold dear. Our members from other countries also have ancestors who fought, and gave their lives for the beliefs and for the freedoms of their country. We in the genealogical community need to continue to remember that we are a world wide family which is formed from those of many nations, cultures, beliefs and history. This Country was built by those who migrated here from lands around the world. Their history is a part of us as our history is a part of them. I ask you to remember all those who have given their lives in military service world wide this weekend and please show the respect due to each of our members, no matter where they are from or what country they or their ancestors fought for. I appreciate each of you. Have a save weekend.
