Memorial Day


Happy Memorial Day to all my freinds and fellow Veterans. Serving this country was the most eye opening experience of my life. My service was kind of like the guy in this Norman Rockwell drawing "On Leave." But others have served under more arduous conditions and this is for you.

Thanks to all those who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of freedom. There have been times in which the cause was not popular, and that made the job harder. And there have been times when the mission was questionable, which made the job impossible. But there have also been times when the job was to defend the liberties which we all enjoy and you shined like a beacon.

To all those who have fallen, for a cause right, or even misguided, your sacrifice is not unnoticed and your absence is always with us.

The rest of you can just go shopping.
