Memorial Day May 30, 2016, Remembering those that gave their lives for what they believed. Never forget.  And,  to be grateful that we are fortunate enough to be able to celebrate their lives for all that they’ve done. Thank you to my father who served in the Calvary in WWII and to my brother Chris who served in Viet Nam. Two tours, bronze star/ Navy Seal.
