An old image I posted once before of my Dad in the navy during World War II. I tried a little work to it but it's never been taken care of so it's pretty time ravaged. The point being that this is for all servicemen & women who have served their country proudly.......past and present. When we see the flag fly.......remember all the sacrifices they have made...and continue to make to this day for all of us. God bless them all and have a great Memorial Day everyone. J (Dad - second from right)

Thank You John and I hope you have a pleasant Memorial Day as well and let us all not fail to forget what this day is about. Freedom isn't free and I sure do appreciate all our servicemen and women.

I could not say it any better than you have John.
It’s because of men like your dad that we can do all the things we take for granted each and every day.
Thank you for your wonderful post.
Remember freedom is not free.

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals
