Definitely a view of the sacrifice on the definition of Memorial day. I have heard and seen representation that all of you from all the groups are actually always "On Duty", whether the uniform is on or off.
As we take advantage of this holiday weekend to get some things done around the rust ranch, I just want to take a moment to remember the reason for the day off. I propose a toast to our friend Ira, and the rest of the Veterans that are no longer with us, or the ones that never made it home. For the rest of our Veterans, we appreciate your your service and dedication to our country. Thank you from all of us that can enjoy the freedom that your sacrifices have secured.
Just came in from a sunrise walk to lower the flag to half mast till noon. What it takes to risk your life for the freedom of others is beyond thanks. God bless our Soldiers!
