    Unhappy Memorial Day weekend

    As usual, my wife and I will be planting flags on Veteran's graves at our local cemetery on this Saturday morning, along with other Veterans from the 1st Cavalry Division and Special Forces Association.

    Monday, Memorial Day we will be attending two Memorial Day Ceremonies one at the Tahoma National Cemetery in the early afternoon and the other at te local cemetery where we planted the flags on Saturday. (Washingyon Memorial Cemetery.) We will be with the same Veteran's groups, as well as many others.

    As usual, my eyes will moist over when they blow taps, and I will remember all my fallen comrades.

    It's not a three day holiday for me.

    What are you doing to honor our fallen heros? Please remember we arre at war!

    Sir, God bless you who served and those that have made the ultimate sacrafice, I can tell you they will not forgotten in this neck of the woods and, alot of eyes get moist when they play Taps here nightly. I know there are quite a few Military folks on this board who understand what Memorial Day is about, but I am very glad you posted a reminder for all.

    A lot of my buds are resting. On this holliday I party as much as I can. It may seem weird to those that dont understand. But, its for those that cant be here to party. Some of you understand.
