Happy Memorial Day


Before you head out to a family barbeque or light the fire on your own grill, please take a moment to remember what this holiday is about. Too often, I believe we as a country take our armed forces for granted, mostly remembering to thank them a few days a year, if that. But every man or woman that served in any branch of the military needs to be reminded how thankful we are. I don't think Memorial Day should be limited to the fallen, rather to thank the existing military while we can. So, please, if you have retired, active duty or reserve military memebers in your family or circle of friends, thanks them for me. I hate to think of where our country would be without our brave defenders.




Remember all gave some,
but some gave all.

So lets see if I get the whole list...
My Father (Coast Guard)
My Sister (Army)
My Future Brother-in-law (Army)
My Uncle Ken (Coast Guard)
My Step-Mother (Air Force)
My Uncle Therald (Navy)
My Uncle Fred (National Guard)
My Grandfather "Pa" (Army)
My Grandfather Chuck (Army)
My Great-Uncle Eddie (Army)
My Cousin Joey (Navy-Marines)
My Husband's Uncle Robert (Navy)
My Step-brother Charles (Marines 12-09)

Thank You for all your determination and sacrifice, all in the name of serving your Country.
