Good Morning All,

Weather has cleared...looks like we wil have a beautiful long weekend...

Sadly we have a generation that has no clue about the meaning of Memorial Day.

Classes being taught on what a Gold Star family is...... the greatest generation is melting into the shadows of history....

Some will raise our flag...salute it and give it the solemn honor it richly deserves..... bless them...

Pause and give thanks..... and very special thanks to those who have served and to those severing now....

Growl..... grill time...... rock the ribs....

Have a great holiday and a safe week...

As always......Go Dawgs

Go Dawgs!

The Greatest Generation came out of a terrible era, the 1930's. They became the soldiers in WW2. Many gave all without question. They returned and were taken care of and honored.

They went on to build the greatest country during the 1950's under leadership of Dwight Eisenhower, a president that experienced war and wanted to never return. He wanted a society where we all worked together toward a common goal. Peace, harmony, helping one another.

They elected John Kennedy who gave America purpose beyond that era. The space race, the Peace Corps and more. A story JFK told was on a tour of the space center he asked a janitor with a broom what he was doing. He said "Putting a man on the moon Mr. President".

Thank you to the "Greatest Generation".

Your son,
Steve

Try and leave this on special occasions. Monday is just that.



Kaziah Hancock did not forget, several on this board respect Kaziah for who she is.

God Bless
