Oh, this was very good, J. Wish I was young I'd be in D.C. with the Hogs. I'm actually beginning to see a turnaround about how America is treating Memorial Day as opposed to a few years ago. After the traitors who influenced so many during the Vietnam War I sense a return to patriotism. At least I hope so.

You really touch the heart with your words, dear Jimmy, and the picture conveys all the sadness that involves families.

Food for thought always ...

Love,

I knew that whatever you offered to honor those we remember would touch me deeply. And it did. You did.

Thank you.

Jimmy...always in our hearts those who have passed before. A lovely and thoughtful memorial.
