I only personally knew 2 guys who gave their lives for us, and we'll spend some time honoring their memories, along with those of all who made the ultimate sacrifice.
And then we're heading to the Bahamas for a couple of weeks...

I'm gonna do what ever I feel like doing ... And I'm gonna be thinking about the ones who paid the price for me to be able to do that.

Have a safe Memorial day and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Exactly.

Our family knew 2 from Vietnam. One was our neighbors son, the other was a cousin on my mothers side of family. It's been so long ago can't really remember them.

History/background on the pic? It's very moving... It's the "Missing Man" table. Each article has symbolism. I'm on my phone so can't pull it up but Google missing man table . Attachments:

A slice of lemon reminds us of the bitter fate of those captured or missing in a foreign land. A pinch of salt symbolizes the tears of our missing and their families who long for answers. The glass is inverted to symbolize their inability to share a toast. The chair is empty because loved ones are still missing.

Bushnell? My BIL is there and that's probably where I'll end up.

I'll probably be in The National Cemetery at Canton GA.
At least that's the plan.
She'll probably dump my ass around the azaelas.

Today is also a memorial to a special musician ( non military) that died 7 years ago. Ferris may know. But a hint would be a founder of the original Florida Georgia line.
