MEMORIAL DAY WISHES & MEMORIES....

Enjoy a good & safe Memorial Day Holiday with your family & friends....
We will be with our son Joe and his wonderful family.
Enjoy and remember: Had a wonderful & memorable 'Memorial Day'.
We went to town early Monday morning and watched the parade. Our grandson Joey took pictures of the Soldiers from WWII and there were three huge American, Californian and MIA Flags and everyone clapped to Honor the Vets.
We heard a sound above us and there were National Guard helicopters the boys were really impressed. The Soldiers gave the boys pencils and I received a pen from one of the soldiers.
From there everyone proceeded to the cemetery, where there was singing of our National Anthem. I got misty eyed when they did the bugle for the Civil War Soldiers.
Our Mayor spoke noting Ferndale Memorial Day is the longest running one in our country that Honor the Vets,and a prayer was led included were the family of our current Iraq war soldiers.
Last they had the tap....three times right in front of us....oh, my heart I couldn't stop crying.

Pray for our Soldiers home and abroad...and their families, too.
Peace with a Purpose...
