Long weekend

Most will have a long weekend to spend with family and friends. Some may BBQ or even drink a few extra beers.
But please remember the reason for this holiday.

For the years my son was in Scouts, several troops placed flags on all the head stones at the veteran's facility. It was an awesome sight when finished.

About 10 years ago I restored an M38a1 Jeep, which I am asked to drive in our local Memorial Day parade. It's something I am always proud to do to show my respect for those who served. Their stories bring a tear to my old eye.
 
I just read in the San Antonio TX newspaper that 130.000 (yes) flags will be placed at the headstones in the Ft Sam Houston National Cemetary in San Antonio TX. by Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and volunteers. Great
 
Wednesday was at the Great Lakes National Cemetary (Holly, MI) for a burial of a friends dad (Vietnam). Very nice and beautiful cemetary.

Spent a few hours last summer straightening all the flags in the Post Cemetary for Fort Mackinac on Mackinaw Island, MI. A fair amount of soldiers from the local fort are buried there. There is a lot of history around there from the War of 1812.

Memorial Day is to honor the people that served this country not a party day I read the other day that a 1000 or more WWII vet are passing away each day how.
