Memorial Day
« on: May 28, 2011, 02:48:10 AM »
Take a minute out this weekend to honor our fallen heros.
Brother and I put the flags out on local cemeteries and it never fails to amaze me at the number of Vets there are in our small town.

Vic,
  I have plans today to spend some time with a Pacific Theatre WWII veteran, my wife's grandfather. Much like your father, he's one of the many national treasures that has helped to set the example for us younger soldiers to follow.

Thanks, Dinny

My neighbor is also a WWII vet.  He was a fighter pilot and flew P-59 Mustangs in Japan.  The stories he shares are priceless.  On Memorial Day, I am cooking steaks on the grill for him.   I am very thankful to all of the vets that have served this country.

I joined the members of my VFW lodge to show respect to the fallen military member today.  We also said a prayer for the safe return of those in harms way today.  Just pray they come home safe.
