MEMORIAL DAY....a day set aside to say "Thank You" to all those who have died in the defense of their Nation.

And...for me at least...a day to say "Thank You" to all those who ever wore the uniform.

This MEMORIAL DAY....let 'em know that you appreciate what they did.

If you are ever in "The Big City" and you see along the side of the road (usually down-town) a 5'4" Navajo painfully making his way down the sidewalk with his metal legs and two crutches.....pull over and raise your hand in a salute.

Why not give him a ride?

"Why not give him a ride?"

He wouldn't accept one.After talking to him...it seems that 1)He wants to move on his own..(I can do it) and 2)...He's one of the most stubborn people I've met when it comes to his independence.

We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.

Man whoever said 'just another drunk Indian' was lucky I wasn't there. Last night on Extreme Makeover they built a veteran's affairs building on the Navajo res. Watching that show required more tissue than usual!

Great story. Thanks.

If you saw "Extreme Makeover:Home Edition" last night, you got the chance to see many of our brave Native American veterans (the show built them a Veterans building on the reservation). They had a ceremony with the American flag, with the flags of Indian nations. They sang the Star Spangeld Banner in Navajo. It was beautiful and touching.
