Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!


Enjoy all the festivities. Please take time to pray for those that have lost loved ones in the service of our country. You're in the land of the free and enjoying a holiday because of their sacrifices. Our Armed Forces ROCK!

Dock, my friend...in two enormously weak words, to you and all those who call themselves veterans...thank you. These words are far too weak to express my appreciation for everything those in military uniform have done to ensure my freedoms remain mine to enjoy. God bless you and all those who serve and have served.

Brother I could never thank you enough for serving our country, and thanks to all our veterans, may God bless you, brother.

TY for the nice comments. Vietnam Era left no choice. Either abide the draft or go to jail. Certainly I love my country, but being in Nam sucked. Coming home to the hate wasn't pleasant either. Very quickly we forget episodes like Kent State. Listen to "4 dead in Ohio". CSN&Y definitely had their fingers on the nation's pulse as we had our fingers on the triggers. Far greater men than me fell in battle. I don't deserve any praise, but thanks for recognizing that we served our great country while in Vietnam. Certainly changed my life...
