Memorial Day Weekend
My Father was a WW2 vet who fought in the Philippines....but survived the war
untouched except for nasty drinking habit and smoking....which killed him at 58. His older brother died on the Arizona. One of the worst days of my life was going to this girls service in 2005. The father was a friend of my older brother and I knew this girl since she was born. I tried to talk her out of joining the ARMY.....everybody tried. http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/swhuff.htm |

God bless those who haved served as well as those who continue to do so, rest in peace to all of those who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom. These brave men and women should be remembered every day of the year.

It is the one day out of the year for the nation to set aside political views and to remember, to reflect, and to honor those who have given their all in service to their country. Its date may differ in other countries, ours comes this Monday, but to all of those brave souls who sacrificed - we salute you...

Boston Common last year and I assume this year as well, a flag for every soldier from Massachusetts who has fallen since the civil war.

We went to place flags on Saturday with my son's Scout Troop
Somewhere a hundred miles away, some likely young person has done the same on my Father's
