My MemoriaI Day for the past two years have been spent relaxing with family, phoning relatives who have served in the military, substituting old flowers with fresh ones on the grave of my deceased father who served in the Navy, watching memorial services on TV, and eating some delicious barbecue cooked by a cousin who is retired from the Marines.
Family and friends are getting together to cook and eating and just enjoy each other. Because we live where there there is a military base close by and one family member works with an army wife...we put the word out that anyone who didn't have family in the area or anywhere to go would be welcome. So far we have 4 people joining us....3 soldiers and 1 soldier and her husband. We are all looking foward to meeting and talking with our new friends.

Do you honor someone you've lost on Memorial Day?Is Memorial Day a time when you honor someone special you've lost, or is it mostly a time to relax with family? Both are good ways to spend time, but some prefer one over the other. What do you prefer?

As I sit here working on a story I am looking up at a picture of my Uncle Eddie in his uniform. He served in Vietnam from 69 to 71. Most people say he was different after he came home. He died back in 75 so I don't remember him that much. I wonder who he would have been if he hadn't gone to the...
