Although Monday was the US's Memorial Day, Let's not forget the Canadians, Aussies and Brits who were right there with us EVERY time. Hard to find friends who will do that. Salute.

I just watched a program on PBS that brings home what Memorial Day is really all about.The program visited all the American war dead cemeteries in 8 foreign counties.There are graves of  125,000 American men and women  in those cemeteries.These men and women and all the others who died for not only our freedom,but the freedom of millions of people all around the world are the real reason for Memorial Day.When I was stationed in Europe,I visited the American cemetery at Verdun,France.That was one of the most somber and emotional experiences of my life.The whole world owes an enormous debt to all who have served in our Military,but especially to those who gave all in the defense of freedom.

Todays kids, the ones I've met anyway, who are military are some amazing youngsters. These kids, especially the Navy and Air Force guys are scary bright. We used to kid the Army and the leathernecks while I was in the Navy (62-66), but I gotta tell you, if I'm ever in a fight I want one of those kids on my side. One's all you'd need. Congradulations and Thank you.

I know there will be BBQs also but I sure do like small town patriotism.  Porterville also has the distinction of having more men per capita lost in Vietnam than any other town in the US, they feel very stongly about their Vets.

I just love a marching band!  God Bless John Philip Souza!

Thanx Dan, very moving, I've been called a fool for enlisting in 65 more than I've ever been praised, it's great to see some people still remember and care. Gary

Thanks to all who served!  Including my Father William James McMaster USN CPO WWII.

We will be headed to Porterville for their Memorial Day service at Hillcrest Cemetery, it's very patriotic and a breath of fresh air in the world of today.

Y-Guys:      A few weeks ago, I took my 85 yr old uncle

      on one of the "Honor Flights" to D.C. to see the W.W.II

      memorial. When we arrived back to our home airport

      (B'ham Al) about 9 p.m., on a friday nite, there was a crowd

       of about 250, cheering, clapping, and telling the Vets

      how much they were appreciated for the job they did.

                One of the Vets, was a 95 yr old that pushed!

     his wheelchair all day, he said he brought it   to help anyone

     that might need it!!!

                 As we were about to leave the airport, another

     Vet (with tears in his eyes), mentioned to me that No-One

     had ever "thanked" him or told him they were proud of him

     and his fellow soldiers.

Thank you to all the Y-Block vets.

Let us pray for those who are serving now, thanks to all who have served, and remember the fallen ones, those who gave their life so that we can live ours in freedom. 

God bless America.
