Memorial Day 2007


Thank you to all the men and women who have fought and died for this Country. Because of you, I am here. Because of you, I get to do anything I want to do, whenever I want to do it. I could have taken my kids to the lake today. I could have taken them to a movie. We could have gone to the zoo. Anything. Anywhere. Not today though. Today is your day. Today, we visited you and those like you. We went to say thank you. To show you that all you gave up wasn't for nothing. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten, especially not in this house. We won't forget, because we owe you everything. Thank you.

I have been waiting for this post. I remember you taking the boys last year, and I was so completely touched by it. I know you want no kudos, but you and Cindy are raising your kids exactly right. They are growing up knowing what is important, what is to be respected. Thank you. I know they will become great men.

P.S. My dad is buried there. Thanks for sharing your pictures, it brings to me great feelings of pride and love.
