Memorial Day

We are flying our flags today to honor all Veterans and currently serving military members.

My husband was a Marine and served during the first Gulf War.

My Dad was a Sailor during the Korean War.

His brother, my uncle Bob, was also in the Navy.

On my mother's side, 4 of my uncles all served during WW II and all came home alive.

Uncle Jarvis was a Marine and fought through Europe and the Pacific.

Uncle Jr. was a pilot.

Uncle Rex served in the Navy and spent several days in shark-infested waters after his ship was sunk.

Uncle Cecil was a Sailor and lost his leg in an accident.

All of my uncles came home and lived very remarkable lives.

I love all these Veterans and am so proud of them for their sacrifices.

Our Flag

There are many flags in many lands,

There are flags of every hue;

But there is no flag, however grand,

Like our own Red, White, and Blue.
