Memorial Weekend

Shout out to All who have had family serve in any branch of service, all who are currently serving and those who will. Stay safe this weekend and take a moment to be thankful for what you have and those who have given all for you to have it.

This last batch of arrows, I started naming each one after a Medal of  Honor  recipient.  Next batch will be POW's and MIA's.

Sorry a little late posting here. We came home from Marshall yesterday and came to a road block. The police officer apologized for the delay. He said they should have blocked the road a mile before that but someone didn't get the timing right. The parade was going to come down the street to the cemetery. He said it shouldn't take long. Was a small parade. Just a couple fire trucks and a tractor or two. I told him not to apologize. That's what this day is all about.
Sorry it's a bit late but thanks to all who serve and their loved ones
