Happy Memorial Day!

Papa's flag is flying from the front of the house. It's a beautiful clear day and supposed to get into the 80s. A little yard work, and then thepool.

Quietly remembering our veterans today. Papa was in the Pacific during WWII. My dad was in Germany after the war, then later in Korea. My grandfather was exposed to nerve gas in France during WWI (and his diary now resides in the Library of Congress). Heroes all.

And there are so many more to whom we owe our undying gratitude for defending our freedom. Some on these very threads.

Thank you, and God bless you all.

I’m not usually one to jump on the boycott wagon (and I can’t on this one for odd reasons), but I wanted to make sure that the homeschoolers had caught on to Subway restaurant excluding homeschoolers from their contest. It’s not an urban legend it’s right on the contest form “no home schools will be accepted.”

Michelle Malkin has been covering this.

Indeed Corin, we all thank them all for their service.

LSA’s dad was Army Air Corps, not Air Force, he only needed to correct me one time on that. England, France & Germany. My dad worked at Douglas in Chicago throughout the WWII, they made the C-54s.
