Good morning guys. Take time and and think what this holiday weekend means. Ultimate sacrifice. Thanks for opening the door HB. Sausage patties and eggs are sizzling, coffee mighty tasty, come visit for a bit. Normal chores around here this weekend, garden all planted this week. Sure could use some rain. Stay safe gang!

Thank you all here that have served. I'll have a cup of that fancy coffee Bill makes. Off to mow and maybe cut some wood before it gets too warm this afternoon. Temperature swings are crazy around here.

During Korea guys got like $75 a month for pay.
I got $500/mo. But also got living expenses (lived off base) I forgot how much. No room at the base itself for housing at the time.
E1's now get about $2000/mo.
I only know of one of the people I served with who died while on duty. A scruffy and tough SGT who was in my unit...he was a blast..RIP

All gave some, some gave all.

This is hands down the BEST vid I have EVER seen regarding Memorial Day:

Someone stopped by on Sunday and put the flags out in the cemetery next to my house. I always walk through and take it all in, but I am one of very few.
