This morning while getting ready for work, I did my usual news channel surfing. ALL of the local stations were emphasizing the beautiful weather in store for this weekend. All that was mentioned was "many will be heading to the lakes this 3 day weekend" to boat, swim etc. and the weather will be beautiful. The graphics were showing boats on the water.
Not one mention about what this weekend (Monday) is about.
I'll be attending a Fallen Solder name reading at our local cemetery, Flying my flag & in my own way, saying words of thanks to our fallen; for they gave all for this Country.
When I was a child, in Wickliffe Ohio, there was a Memorial Day parade, when the last of the parade came through; the crowd followed in behind the procession & walked to the cemetery, Taps was played, a 21 Gun Salute presented then the people visited the graves of their fallen.
Times have sure changed.
Thank You Veterans for your sacrifices, they truly have not been forgotten by me.
