For those who fought for Freedom
We gather here today To pay respect and honor On this Memorial Day
For those who died for others That all men might be free The pride of our great Nation The sons of Liberty
For all the sons and daughters Who heard their Nation's call For all the missing Heroes On The Vietnam Wall
For all the weeping fathers Who gave this land their own For mothers who rocked the cradles Of great Heroes that we've known
For those with "Pale Blue Ribbons" For our Sailors who rest at Sea Remember this Memorial Day FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!

I gotta tell ya a true story.....
About a month ago, my cousin was in my neck of the woods. Mind you, this is one of my very favorite cousins. (I got him in all kinds of trubble when we were kids. Of course, no one blamed sweet Miss Lori for anything....such a angel, doncha know.)
Anyway, he lives in T-town, KS (so I don’t see him too often anymore) and is about to marry a woman who is 3 years older than he. (Oh, the horror!)
The two of them came to our place for dinner, and of course, the table topic turned to romance. This is marriage #2 for both of them. They were asking us about how we met, etc...... and the subject of the “special song” came up. Most couples have one. They wanted to hear our song, and thanks to you, we have that song on a CD now, and we can play it anytime we want, so....................
WE DID!
Of course, we HAD to dance, and, as usual, I HAD to cry.
It was a great evening! =)

HAHA! Daddy was mostly on Tarawa (AFTER the heroes went in)...but, as a navigator, he also hopped to other spots.

It’s probably something blocked from work...
Pacific theater was extremely costly.
