Memorial Day
This year, Memorial Day seems to have a lot of meaning to it.
Based on what I saw on Easter weekend, I'm sure outdoor recreation places like the dunes will be packed. For some, it's a time for leisure and doing activities they enjoy. For Hollywood, it's movie blockbuster weekend (think X-Men 3).
I know some that are overseas (one just got back). My Dad was Air Force in the 1960's, but was never sent to Vietnam.
So I can say a silent thanks for those that gave their all. But I do that anytime I read the latest casulty reports.
Again, for those that gave everything, and to those that they left behind, I respect your sacrifice. I will live the "American dream" and appreciate the freedom I have in being able to do so.
