Today starts Memorial
Day Weekend. I’m going out of town for a couple of days, so this is my
Memorial Day blog. I know I usually try to find funny stuff, but I’m an
Army Brat and Memorial Day is an important holiday to me, so here’s some
stuff about this day that I hope you’ll enjoy. And, just so you know, I’m a
ginormous Patriot, so you can expect one of these on Independence Day as
well!

The shaft we raise to them and thee."
