Celebrating Memorial Day

My family celebrated Memorial Day yesterday by working in the yard, grilling and spending time together. We were thankful that we know no one fighting in the Middle East. I don't recall having any family who have died as a result of being in a war. We are very thankful.

I did spend some time ponderring how I would react if my son or daughters were killed while in the service. I know I cannot ever know the terrible loss a parent must feel when they lose a child - but it must be extremely horrendus.

Thank you to all those who have served and lived or given their lives for my freedom.
