Gibber-gabber
Memorial Day ’09

Having served in Viet Nam each memorial day has a special meaning for me and for all the families who lost someone in what was a needless war. While all of the attention is on those who returned and have continued to suffer I think we need to give pause and thank those who stayed at home and worried about their loved ones hoping and praying that they would come home ok. The same concerns exist today for the families of those who are currently deployed. The simple act of putting an American Flag up really means a lot. Enjoy the barbecue and family but most of all say hi to someone who served or to an aunt, uncle, friend or grandparent who supported their serviceman or woman who was in harms way.
