    It is Memorial Day Weekend

    For many here in America, it is the start of the summer season, and all that is associated with it. Let us no forget all those who served and gave the ultimate sacrifice so that we may enjoy the freedoms we do.

    Monday I raise my glass to my uncle who was killed while returning to the USS Wasp during WWII. I would have liked to have known him. Our family was lucky only one of four did not come back, others suffered worst. To all those who made that ultimate sacrifice to allow me to sleep soundly at night they will always be appreciated.

    So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.

    I didn't forget you, I didn't forget ALL OF YOU. I didn't forget the guy wearing the "Tet Offensive Survivor" T-shirt yesterday at wally world. I shook his hand and said, "Sir, thanks for saving me a seat on the bus." He laughed his ass off, him and his wife and I chatted for a few. We thanked each other and agreed about our current situation and went on about our day. Nope, I'll always stand in the shadows of those who served before me. They did it first, they paved the way for me, for us, for all. SO yeah, I didn't forget any of you! For those that are serving now and after me, I'm here with you as well as the rest of us..............driving the bus. I'm just waiting to stop for the party!

    So to all you Puddle Pirates, Jarheads, Grunts, Rotorheads, BubbleHeads, Squids, Flyboys, and other associated branches of said protectors of the Republic. HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY BROTHERS AND SISTERS! "HOO-YAH"

    I'm going to go do my chores..............
    Be safe.............the night is your friend.

    God bless all who served.
    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Be decisive. Right or Wrong, make a decision. The road of life is paved with flat squirrels who could not make a decision.

    I was going to join the Air Force right out of HS, but due to color blindness, I couldn't get any of the positions I wanted. This has been a nagging feeling in the back of my brain for almost 40 years. I feel ashamed just because I didn't get my way, I didn't serve my country. Well, all of those brave women and men who gave the ultimate sacrifice of their life serving this great country didn't quite get their way either. So to every brave American, who has served this great country, and made it great due to your efforts, I say thank you for your service, which to me means more than the words, I truely mean Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

    XOXO to ya DG- We appreciate your willingness to serve but if you are a patriot standing guard on the home land, you are also serving your country. You can serve and protect in more ways than one. Give that some though bro... and change those negative feelings into positive ones! Thats an order! ;-)

    When we have a million screaming chinese/koreans/you fill in the blank here running across our borders and your plugging them will freedom pills, you will know what I say has truth. ;-)
