2010: MEMORIAL DAY, 2010

This photo brought tears to my eyes. Memorial Day is a helluva lot more than a barbecue, a trip to the shore, or a day off from work. It's a day when we should remember all those brave heroes who gave their lives that we might continue living in freedom in the greatest country in the world. Here's a staunch salute to all veterans everywhere, active, inactive, and those who went to be with the Lord.

I, and I dare say most of visitors to this blog would be standing tall right next to the patriot in the photo.
God HAS Blessed America!

Many thanks to my old friend and Navy vet , Francis "Bud" Foley
for sending me this very moving photo.

The Story beind the photo is, if you notice the only one standing as the flag goes by is the guy in the wheelchair, either a Veteran or a patriot.

Right, Gary. The gray sign tells the story. would guess that the man standing is a WWII vet.

Relax...when I read your comment I said to myself, "Uh oh, I must have performed another one of my senior moments," and I had to re-check the graphic. Great to hear from you.
