To follow our American Legion tradition, we planted 1634 flags on Veteran's graves yesterday . 22 of those flags were placed on graves of those who GAVE ALL in combat. A humbling experience that placed the REAL meaning of THE day in our hearts.
God grant THEM all eternal peace.

Earlier this evening I sat for a few minutes listening to my uninformed neighbor shoot fire works and thought about the reason for Memorial Day. It occurred to me, I did not know who the first American who died in our long struggle for the freedom of our country. I did a little research, Crispus Attucks, a biracial runaway slave from Framingham, MA was killed at the Boston Tea Party and is considered the first American casualty of the the Revolutionary War. Now you know too.
Want to hear God laugh? Tell him Your plans!!!
