Memorial Day has always been special to me as it was my father's birthday (he was born May 30 the original day before it was moved to the convenient Monday). He was in the Air Force for 27 years and I am thankful for the sense of patriotism that I was brought up with. We moved a lot ,as military families do. I have great memories of being on a playground swing on a base in Germany. I remember singing "Off we go if we go into the wild blue yonder...." as I soared into the air. I too am grateful for those that gave their lives. So thank you so much for this great post that commemorates what this day really stands for.
