Memorial Day, a Day Late
I suck. I admit it. I flew my American flag throughout the weekend and illuminated it at night. I said my silent prayer — “God bless you and keep you safe,” — everytime I saw a military aircraft fly over my mom and dad’s house (all we get over our house is commercial air traffic), just as I always do… a habit I’ve picked up over the past couple years due to my internal disgust over our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But I didn’t post a Memorial Day blog entry. Thus, I suck.
Rob, of My Beloved Monster & Me and Darn Tootin’, doesn’t suck. Rob always remembers to post something heartfelt, spot-on and insightful each Memorial Day. Here’s his Memorial Day 2006 entry in lieu of my own.
