And those who gave us life and memories.

My dad told me ONE horrific story about his experience. At the end I asked (I was young), "Was that the worst thing that ever happened?" He was stunned at the question. He replied, "No, it was just regular life."Conda Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972790965426924941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913223308835760783.post-68625523978076510302009-05-27T09:20:44.929-07:002009-05-27T09:20:44.929-07:00Swu, that is awful.

Especially when we're at war and unfortunately, there are new, young people to remember on this day, and the ultimate sacrifice they made.Conda Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972790965426924941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913223308835760783.post-70988461572270561022009-05-27T03:54:56.535-07:002009-05-27T03:54:56.535-07:00Fully agree: my father obviously had many experien...Fully agree: my father obviously had many experiences with the RAF in Germany during WWII that he could not talk about.

They act completely oblivious to the sacrifice that so many men and women made so that we all could have this wonderful life.<br /><br />Happy trails.Swubirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009070690312312456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913223308835760783.post-18141022775421790222009-05-26T12:00:59.666-07:002009-05-26T12:00:59.666-07:00Yes, Muse, Memorial Day sure can be bittersweet......Yes, Muse, Memorial Day sure can be bittersweet...sometimes so sad.Conda Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972790965426924941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913223308835760783.post-12185571451977381602009-05-26T06:08:24.964-07:002009-05-26T06:08:24.964-07:00Beautiful picture and Memorial!

Yesterday we were BBQing baby back ribs and cooking all day.<br /><br />It was a hard day for my husband. He just wanted to keep to himself. I know he was really missing his dad.<br /><br />Take care!The Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974717192873929184noreply@blogger.com
