By the way, it's Memorial Day weekend!

I want to stop a moment and say thank you...
Thank you too my father who was career Coast Guard (27 years) and served with honor at home and in Vietnam.
His father, and friends that served.
My husband who was Air Force and served over seas.
His father who was a WW II and Korea bomber pilot, also career Air Force and reserves(totally nearly 50 years!). His brother who was in Vietnam.
My ex husband, his second wife and his father also served proudly!

These are just a few of the people in my life that bring this holiday home to me. Alive and dead they are all hero's because they chose to serve. Because they chose, my life is better.
This small token before the weekend starts, is to go with my mother and put flowers on all of our fallen spend a moment thinking of them. It isn't much but it is a day of remembrance in my life before I enjoy the fruits of their sacrifices.
Happy Memorial Day!
