    All gave some; some gave all.

    I always think of my maternal grandfather on Memorial Day - he's burried in Arlington National Cemetery, knew MacArthur, served in Japan just after we nuked the place, got cancer and met John Wayne several times at their common doctors offices. Interesting fellow.

    Early tomorrow morning I will be visiting two graves. Both of my grandfathers. Both served in the pacific. One was awarded the purple heart and the bronze star. Their generation was truly an inspiration. And we should all strive to be as good of men as our grandfathers were.

    Also I have to acknowledge all the men and women that have served since. To all of the Americans that have ever given their life in defense of what we hold dear, I raise my glass to you and to your families for the most honorable sacrifice a person can make.

    I have not seen enough flags flying this weekend. Please make sure (its not too late) to fly Old Glory. Remember what today is all about.......not just a paid day off from work!
    My determination to not strike the first blow, but also to not stand mute and allow myself, and all that I believe in and stand for, to be trampled by men who would deprive me of my God-given, or natural right to suit my own end.

    I fly Old Glory 365 day a year but had to take it down today because the nasty winds were going to beat it ragged.
