May they rest in peace and may we NEVER forget.
Happy Memorial Day to my friends and a great big thank you to all the vets and enlisted military men and women everywhere. Your service and sacrifice are foremost in my mind and you are always in my prayers. Come home soon and stay safe.
How about you friends – know any vets? How do you honor the fallen or say thank you for their service? Do you do anything special on this very special day beside BBQ in the back yard?
Word of the Day: Noil
Fun fact about me: I like cake and I like ice cream, but I do not like cake and ice cream (together).
