Memorial Day from Mick
by Donna Fuller on 05/27/21
From Mick Hughes
This last week I have heard on TV and radio,----" come on out to the festivities and celebration of MEMORIAL DAY.' . What a bunch of crap. Yep , in many places it has become a big celebration , enterprise ,---$$$ money maker,--with hot air balloon rides and carnival atmosphere. Yes, --to most , the real meaning of this day has been completely lost. To be humble and show respect and being grateful is no longer part of many lives. What a shame!!! When I think of my friends that never returned to take part in the American Dream---, this day has become the worst day of the year for me. I always remember, James Huff, Dave Wikander, Roy Fryman, Art Tomacheck, Ken Hall, Bill Griffith,Judd Spainhour, JJ Carroll, Bill Gendabean, Lenard Taglever. Also, those that returned and later passed as a result of conditions related to the war, -- Walt Webb, Eddie Holton, and Jimmy Lynn, and many others. My friends,---this weekend do not participate in activities that do not bring the proper respect due to those that made the ultimate sacrifice. Please forward to all on your contact list. Semper Fi Charlie Additionally, ---do not forget about the proper flag protocol on MEMORIAL DAY !!!
I would throw in, please refrain (at all times) from using anything that looks like an American Flag for a shirt, skull cap, bathing suit, towel, scarf, tee shirt, paper plate, napkin, tablecloth, face mask, etc.
Flying a flag from a staff? Don't let it touch anything except the staff and halyard.
Placing a flag? Then you're responsible for its care forever. See United States Code, Title 4.
Remember all our American Armed Forces Heroes who gave their lives so we can live in Freedom. mh

Interesting bot of history
by Donna Fuller on 04/18/21
From: Mick:
19 April 1775. About 70 armed "colonists" faced off with the British Military in Lexington, MA. The un-ordered "shot heard round the world" was followed by more gunfire. 8 "colonists" died and 10 were wounded. In coming years, the "colonists" would throw off the yoke of an oppressive English government and become "Americans". "AMERICANS!"
