Who cares if you are biased. I sure do not.
Memorial day, a day of remembrance. A day we need be mindful of the ultimate sacrifices given. Too often I see freedom taken for granted. Like bitching about some little thing about the weather when you are living in paradise, but loose sight of the most significant part you enjoy unparalleled freedom. But, freedom comes with huge sacrifices that many know painfully so personally. My heart goes out to all of you who live with that experience. Ten years of living in a land where freedom is eschewed taught me its value. A mission this summer will be to install a flag pole (may need a barn here) so I can fly our country's flag. I want a daily reminder of how fortunate I am to live in the land of the free and to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
To you for the price you paid.
Now I best make sure Sunshine does not elope lol
