I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day.
Thanks all who serve, have served, and have died for our freedom. I'll be remembering my Dad this weekend in a very special way. Attached image(s) |

Being retired after 20 years of service and still serving the Federal GOV, Father Vietnam vet, Uncle in WWII, many more family members who gave their all....this is a special holiday for me. Time to remember and reflect. I just lucked out on the rotating shift work schedule. Normally I work most holidays. Got the day off which is my Wife's Birthday, just luck on my work rotation, I work rotating shifts, just like in the military. All the deployments over the decades and missing family time. But this holiday is to remember not just us who served, it is for who gave all, those who gave their lives for the country in service. Remember them, enjoy your BBQ, but really remember what the holiday is for. Most think this is a nice paid day off and time to eat.......but is it? Or a time of to know those who gave their lives in defense of freedom. After 2 tours as Honor Guard, in Biloxi while stationed there I used to prep with all the other local residents to put flags on every grave at the VA. I received the flag for vets that had no family to receive them when they were addicted to drugs or had PTSD and were rejected in their final days of life with no family members who would show up to their funerals. We then after the Honor Guard ceremony turned the flag back for the burial. Blithering but this is emotional to me.
