(going to be a hot one this weekend.)
What about you guys?
I gave a talk at my daughter's school about Memorial Day, its origins, and its personal significance for me. I discussed the honor, courage and commitment of those who serve, but particularly those who have fallen in combat.
I will be remembering those 1.1 million soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines who gave their lives in the service of our nation.
And I will be remembering my friend, BJ Dwyer, an F/A-18 pilot, to whom I owe my life. On a combat mission on 05 Feb, 1991, he did not come back.
He left behind a wife, and two young daughters.
I am glad you gys are enjoying the 3 day weekend, please don't forget what this weekend is truly about.
Oh, I won't forget. I have friends in all the branches, and will visiting a fallen one on monday.
I got to help with a cell phone collection a few weeks ago for the troops...
