Remember to teach the children


Wars are fought in distant lands
hard to find on a map
and even harder to understand
without experiencing

Children hear the talk
they may or may not know someone
who serves or died serving
but again - it is a story
hard to understand.


Take the time to teach
to explain
to answer the questions
look up the answers you don't know.

Remember to teach the children to remember
to appreciate
to care.

Freedom is ours because of lives lost
Let's remember this weekend.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is upon us again.
I am gone today - visiting cemeteries (more on that later).
However, I would be remiss if I didn't take the day to recognize
how blessed I am as an American.

It would be wrong too, if I didn't take a moment to honor
those that have protected the rights given to me as an American
These guys:

and countless other men and women who have
fought and died to protect what Americans believe it.

Thank You for.....
