Thanks.

On Memorial Day, I will be at a Trapshoot, and they will start the day with the National Anthem.

As I do every single time, I will cry.



Another note: Both my parents were WWII vets, and my mother always got a stripe before my father did. She was in Special Services, the in-uniform USO if you will.

He drove trucks. In Belgium. During a little thing they called the Battle of the Bulge. They called it the Red Ball Express. I didn't realize until after he had died what that really, really meant.

They're gone now.

Thanks, Mom. Thanks, Dad.
