Wishing everyone a Happy Memorial Day! This is also a day to remember those that crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I still miss Simba and Sparky.

Thank you to those who have or are serving to keep this country safe and free, and to their loved ones, who let them go.  Words cannot express my gratitude.

This young man is awesome, and the video of him made me cry. However, like the little 4-yo-heaven-is-real boy, I'm not sure some of the story wasn't prompted or made up. It was still awesome of him to do that though.

The trumpet player, in the video, was touching. 

Many thanks to all who have served and are presently serving. And their families.
