Happy Memorial Day!



Memorial Day is one of my favorite holidays, not only because I have off of work either! My dad always instilled in me a great love of my country and a great appreciation of what the men and women, who have served in the military, have done for all of us. I always get up and head to the cemetery to see the services. I always enjoy the service and today was no different. I was proud of my students in JROTC who presented the colors and also gave the 21 gun salute. I was also moved by the story a veteran shared about his experiences in Vietnam and how one of his fellow soldiers gave his life to save members of his unit! It is amazing what people will do when they are under fire and how true heroism comes out in such situations. I am so grateful to live in this country where I am able to make my own decisions and have so many freedoms. Thank you to all you Veterans!

Not much else today. Okay so I did a lot, including Guitar Hero for hours on the Wii. I also was able to see the new Indiana Jones movie, which was wonderful. I also spent some times with the Sandy Family! Good times.

I love days off. Only two days of work. I better get to bed. Love it!
