Thank you who served.

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.

I have watched, with great interest, my neighbors . . . and my family . . . enjoying a three-day weekend. And not one mention of the reason WHY they have this three-day break. Even in my own family (they got that earful yesterday - you can believe that).

Here's to:

Monty
Mike
Lacey
Jaime
Eugene
Chet
Mike
Dave
Marilyn
Tom
Tom
Craig

The list could go on.

I could give you full name, rank, and mission . . . irrelavent.


I served with these people. Some of us were "in the shit" together. THIS is the reason for today, not your beer fest and frackin' BBQ . . .

That is all.

CSM out.

That is why my ten year old was up before sunrise to raise and set the flag to half-staff, and back up at midday. Bet your bippy, he knows what Memorial Day is all about.
