Memorial Day 2019

2019-05-27

Memorial Day is back with it's marking those lives lost in service to the country. Though it is the unofficial start of Summer; we're already there with most high temperatures in the low 100s already.

My plans include visiting Fort Jackson National Cemetery to pay my respects to my late stepfather. I would also like to travel to Salley SC to visit the grave of my daddy as well.

It's a more somber time than it was in my childhood having lost sigificant numbers of family and friends with military backgrounds.

It doesn't hurt emotionally as much as it has at various times in the past.
