Pushing 1 in the morning and it is like this every Sunday before Memorial day, (can't sleep). Reason being is I just start thinking of all those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Usually on Monday I will dig out some old Air Force pics and remember the days of my service. Just regular guys that love this country and would die for it. I vividly remember myself and three of those old buddies FINALLY getting to go to the one and only ASCOT while on temporary duty at March AFB.
I just hope all those out there in I.O.W. country just take a second to pay homage to those that did give the ultimate sacrifice, so we could be free and enjoy the things we love to do.

I spent the better part of three hours yesterday morning placing American Flags on graves of fallen veterans at a cemetary close to the homestead here.
It was a beautiful peaceful breezy morning all by myself with a schematic of where to go. My mind day dreamed of the deceased as I was at each marker, wondering about their stories and loved ones left behind. In the end it turned to be a very emotional experience.
I am looking forward to next year where I can pay homage in that manner.
Thanks to all the VETS! :applaud:
