Not to take away from our hero's which I consider not just the ones who gave it their all but those that also returned home and tried to lead a 'natural' life.

I did a lot of fishing over the weekend and did very well. (I will Post pics in the near future.) I went to grave side services put on by the local legion members, when I came in off the lake. I did this at a little church near the cabin.

It doesn't matter where you pay tribute, but it does matter taht we REMEMBER!

If you need some kind of reminder of what this day is about...just visit one of the many cemetaries for our Hero's

Also, You don't have to wait until next year to pay tribute to our Hero's...they deserve our thanks and praise EVERTDAY!!!

Contact your local American Legion club or VFW club and ask what YOU can do to help!

Bill,

Thanks for the great post. I am thinking I may just go get a bunch of flowers to put on the military graves in my hometown. These service people deserve to be remembered.

Out here Memorial weekend marks the official start of tourist season. That's when everyone from Arizona moves here because of the heat over there. They typically go back on Labor Day weekend. LOL
