Take a moment and reflect on what Memorial (Decoration) Day means ...

From the pen of a famous Kentucky serviceman ...

Today IS the day to remember the sacrifices our Servicemen and women have made for this country. Its also ok to BBQ and drink brews

Thank You where every you are, US Troops

 

 

 

Gee funny how that bad back is ok to BBQ + Drink Beers

I think we stand a better chance getting together and building a Ark Gator with all this got dam rain.
Lets see so far it's been tues,wed,thurs,fri,sat,sun afternoon, then major major pouring all through the night and all day today Mon.
Of course the weather man says no rain Tues and Wed and then it's right back into it for Thursday and the approching weekend.


This Mormorial Day Weekend Sucks
But I agree the Men + Women need to be remembered,
it sucked alot worse for many

I am proud that I took the step and enlisted in the U.S. Navy five years ago. My job has taken me around the world more times than I care to remember. I come from a military family. My father was in Vietnam and both of my grandfathers were in WWII and the Korean War. I have nothing but the deepest respect for my grandfathers as the were both on the beaches of Normandy. Last year I was in the middle east for six months. It was not the funnest place to be but I felt comfortable knowing that I was "gettting the job done." In ten days I will be deployed to Japan for six months. It seems like I just got home two months ago even though I have been back in Hawaii for a year. I hate the fact that I have to pack and leave like this but I accept it as my job. Next time you see a service member please shake his hand. Lord knows it helps.

 

Thank you to all the US Veterans that have made this country the great country that it is, I salute you all, Happy Memorial Day!!! John H

 

They paid the price for the freedom we all enjoy. Don't take it for granted!
Remember what the red stripes and white stripes stand for on our flag.
