Memorial Day 2010 - We Miss You

Today is our day set aside to thank all the men and women and their families who have suffered and died in the fire of combat so that we may enjoy our freedom. We should not forget and God Bless America.

Today we also remember our family and friends that have passed away by going to the cemeteries and placing new flowers on the graves. The cemeteries always look so colorful for the next few weeks.

Mom and I made it to Martha, Blair and Corinth last wk but Don and I haven't made it to Amber. But we remember!
