7 days to the wedding. All is set. Heather is going away with her bridesmaids on Saturday overnight. I got bar-b-que all set.
But enough about that, it’s memorial day weekend. I know most people just see it as a day off, start of summer etc. But what is it really about? Be thankful to your veterans Past and Present. Myself whenever I see anyone in military dress from past or present I go up to them and thank them. Honestly I really do. I even weekly write to a troop in Iraq. I got connected with him through:
http://adoptaplatoon.org/new/
I have also donated to Paralyzed veterans here:
http://www.pva.org/
You can send paper books to:
http://operationpaperback.usmilitarysupport.org/
You can send a package via these people:

Or I am sure if you asked around you could make it more personal find out if anyone has family in the services. I have done that to. I am not saying I am high and mighty. I am just respectful to people who sacrificed for our country and give something back. Now if you are just talking about our current war. It is not about all Muslims. It is the extremists. Just look for how France and Europe. They are riddled with extremists. Our troops are truly trying to suppress these people from coming after our country again. Support the troops even if you don’t support the war. Last night I watched a show about a Marine core from Ohio who lost a lot of troops in the Iraq war. It showed pictures of some people that didn’t make it home, showed their families back home it killed me I was just tearing up. To see these young guys 18-22 losing their lives. I just want all the troops to come home. I remember my dad saying these boys need to come home. I am assuming that he sees his early life in these troops. Don’t forget the older vets, I feel bad because people hated the Vietnam War and took it out on the returning vets. There are not many other vets still around a lot of the Korean vets and WW2 and forget WW1, there are just a few vampires still around. These survivors are often forgotten also. If you have a local VFW try helping them if you can a lot of the older vets can’t even keep the halls going. Volunteer some time I promise it won’t kill you and they tell great stories, you might just hear the same story over and over though. You can become an associate member even if you not a veteran. A lot of them have cool bars, where the beer is cheap and pool tables. Hmmmm $6.00 for a beer here, $2.00 for a beer there, hell you can drink there to support them. Come on!!!! What’s Memorial day weekend without a beer?
