Aloha, Biglook! A weekend fraught with meaning for me, and I'm sure for you as well!

"Ah then back to the glen I rode again,
But my heart with grief was sore.
For I parted then with valiant men
I would never see more.
But to and fro in my dreams I go,
And I kneel and pray for you!
For Slavery fled, O! Rebel Dead!
When you fell in the Foggy Dew!"


An Irish song, but I've always felt it fit on Memorial Day.



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Aloha Doc!

You betcha, family, friends and brief acquaintances on the Honor Roll. Some graves will never be marked but we can all welcome them home in our hearts.
