Memorial Day

My family and my kid's family is chock full of people who served in the military. A sister, a brother, my grandfathers, most of the male relatives on my kid's side of the family (yeah they are those Lees), etc.

I was an army wife for awhile, Chris was born at Letterman Army Military hospital and his dad went off to Honduras when he was three weeks old and then on to Korea for thirteen months when Chris was six months old.

I've known people who died during their stint in the service.

We live fairly close to the Naval Academy and Cul and Cam's dad is currently in the National Guard.

Yesterday Chris gave blood during the Heinlein memorial blood drive (he is the only one in the family who is old and well enough.) Heinlein of course was a graduate of the Naval Academy.

Thank you to everyone, those who serve, those who have served and those who serve by supporting those who serve.
