Can't WAIT for Memorial Day!

[GMan]

NOT going shopping!

Having time for reflection.

Well, so far we've done some suburban camping (spent last night in a tent in the yard) with my little boy and wife. Made homemade waffles this morning for breakfast, and planning on making Scotch Pies this afternoon. Worked on a DIY sporran yesterday which I plan on finishing up today.

Constantly thinking about those who have died and served (My great-grandfather in WW1 and my grandfather in Korea both served and thankfully came home, my father drafted for Vietnam but thankfully never left due to it's end, and my friends in the Middle East.)

Take care all.

Spent this morning with my Lodge Brothers laying a wreath at the grave of Col. William Harman, a Lodge Brother (and Grand Master Mason of the Grand Lodge of Virginia at the time of his death) who was killed by Federal fire at the Battle of Waynesboro on March 2, 1865. It is estimated that Thornrose Cemetery, here in Staunton, has as many as 2,000 Confederate dead buried within its precincts.

It was a rainy Memorial Day in SW Missouri, yet a number of folks braved the weather to attend the annual service at the National Cemetery. I was part of a colour guard from our local Sons of Union Veterans Camp:



The picture doesn't show how wet it was, but if my great-great grandfathers could stand four years of rain, mud and snow to save the Union, then I could stand it for an hour.

Lest we forget.

At work today. Our first long weekend of the summer was last weekend. Paused for a few minutes at 11 am. To my Brothers in Arms, in the US services....keep the faith.

Thank you from a comrade in arms in Canada,

My first attempt at posting a picture. Memorial Day service at our little legion post in Rich Hill. I am at far left in command of firing squad. Unfortunately, going kilted would probably not have been appropriate dress.

Went to our home town memorial day ceremony. I wore the American Heritage kilt with a white short sleeved knit shirt. Then we went to a local water falls and I didn't even think of taking a picture of me and the falls. My wife asked before we left in the morning if I was taking a change of clothes for the walk to the falls. I said, "No, why should I?" She replied, "We'll be walking in the woods." I then said, "Well, If I took a change of clothes it would be another kilt, as I want to be comfortable!" We did other things too, and even shopped.

DALE.

Todd.
Thanks for posting this link. While wandering around I tumbled into the 'Names of the fallen' lists. Staggering!!

You're right Sir.

Lest we forget.
