memorial Day - God Bless the USA

 Today was Memorial Day - a day to remember all those who fought and will fight for our freedoms.
John and I took a bike ride around Oshkosh and ended up running right into their parade.
It was a typical small town parade with lots of bands and members of the armed forces.
It felt good to see all the red, white, and blue lining the streets, it felt good to clap as the many soldiers marched by, and it felt good to know that we can watch a parade like this because of all the soldiers who fought to give us this freedom.
 After the parade we rode to the veteran's cemetery.
Seeing all the flags honoring those brave men and women is quite the site.





My hope is that we never forget all these brave men and women who fought for us.
And let's not forget all the families that were left behind.
When we grill out today, when we toast with beers today, when we meet with friends and family for picnics and parties today, when we gather together to pray today, let's remember why we are able to do these things.
God bless the USA.
