Memorial Day




Memorial Day, Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania Photographic Print

"It is, in a way, an odd thing to honor those who died in defense of our country, in defense of us, in wars far away. The imagination plays a trick. We see these soldiers in our mind as old and wise. We see them as something like the Founding Fathers, grave and gray haired. But most of them were boys when they died, and they gave up two lives -- the one they were living and the one they would have lived. When they died, they gave up their chance to be husbands and fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance to be revered old men. They gave up everything for our country, for us. And all we can do is remember."

Thankful for those who paid the ultimate price, and to their families who also have paid.

If you ever get a chance to watch the movie called Taking Chance, with Kevin Bacon, do it.  It is an amazing movie and you'll need a lot of tissues.

Veteran's Day


Thank you to all who have served.

My family has a long history of military service and I'd like to say thank you to my grandfathers, my dad, my great uncles, and cousins who have served our nation in this way.
