Memorial Day Thoughts

Postby dickb » Sat May 28, 2011 9:16 am

Memorial Day Thoughts:

Today is a day to be proud of all those that put our country first!

Not only the hero's that gave their lives to protect us, but all that serve!

Most people live their lives with little thought or reguard for those folks that keep the rest of us safe.

It's not till something bad happens, then people start to look at the Military and First responders as the courageous and un-selfish persons that they truly are.

I'm proud of their efforts at protecting people that they will never know and are willing to honorably do it because they see the need.

I salute you all for your service! :D

I just drove by my neighbors. Their 34? year old daughter, an Air Force Reserve C-130 pilot, been to Afghanistan and Iraq several times, was out placing about 20 flags along the road next to their property. Her dad was a F4 pilot in Viet Nam. It was a great sight. I'll try to get a picture later on.

My hats off to all you others that served or are serving now!

I have done so much, with so little, for so long, that I am now qualified to do anything with nothing.
Now, I just have to find the time to put the dang thing together.
