Memorial Day Tribute to our Troops

AS AMERICANS WE MUST ALL SHOW SUPPORT FOR THOSE IN THE UNIFORMS OF OUR ARMED FORCES.  AND NEVER DEGRADE THEM IN ANY WAY AS OUR PRESIDENT DID AT A RECENT NEWS CONFERENCE.  PROTECTING THE PRESIDENT WITH A GUN IS ONE THING BUT FORCING A MARINES TO PROTECT HIM FROM THE RAIN IS BEYOND COMPREHENSION.

Thanks to All Who Have Served in Our Armed Forces

MY DAD AND A FRIEND, CAMP FANNIN, TEXAS, 1943.  MY DAD'S ON THE LEFT.  LOOKS LIKE THE TWO WERE MAYBE TAKING A LAST FISHING TRIP BEFORE GOING OFF TO WAR. HE WAS 21 OR MAYBE 22 AT THIS TIME.  MADE IT THROUGH THE WAR AND ONLY PASSED AWAY A FEW YEARS BACK.  HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO FISH AND HUNT---THINGS I LEARNED WELL.  HE TAUGHT ME OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE TAKEN A LIFETIME TO LEARN.  THANKS DAD!   AND THANKS TO ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE ARMED FORCES WE HONOR ON THIS SPECIAL DAY.
