Check this pic out: A bald eagle perched on a grave at Fort Snelling National Cemetery. Very cool indeed!
Lots of outside work going on this weekend – cleaning up the patio and the Tiki bar and boardwalk before their annual coat of paint and preservative before the real heat starts coming in. We’ve been fortunate so far: it’s the end of May and I think we’ve only had two days over the one hundred degree mark, but the extended forecast looks like our luck is about to run out, and in spades: next weekend looks like temps will be near 110. And that will be pretty much be it for rounds of 18-hole golf.
That all being said, it’s important to remember what this weekend is all about: remembering our veterans and the sacrifices they have made to keep this country safe and free. Our moronic ass of a president would rather commemorate the Japanese who died in the Hiroshima bombings (I’ll leave it to Donald Trump to ask the same question I’m asking), but right here in this little corner of the blogsphere we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of the red, white and blue. I’ll let a poem say what should be in our collective hearts:
We salute every soldier who’s
served this great nation.
And offer a heart of thanks
and appreciation!We salute each member
of our armed forces.
And are thankful for their
efforts and resources!We salute the many who
protect our borders too.
We’d be in trouble…
If not for people like YOU!We salute every son and
daughter lost in a war.
YOU are what serving this
country is meant for!We salute the officers who’ve
guided our women and men.
Our prayers are with you!
And our love from within!We salute our veterans!
Wherever they may be!
Those who served on
land, air and sea!Offering prayer to the
Lord is our belief…
That he will guide our
Commander-in-Chief!As we observe Memorial Day this year…
Let’s offer our soldiers
love, hope and cheer!May God bless them in
all they endeavor
And his peace be with them
today and forever!!— Jim Pemberton
