Memorial Day

I was disappointed first that it was raining. We went to the gym and then home and started some spaghetti for lunch. My friend Barry came over with "Aliens in the Attic," and we laughed so hard. Then we went on to watch "Iron Man." Then We played for at least and hour or two. We had the "Kung Fu Panda" swords out and light sabers as well. Then there were a couple of belts and maracas and plastic bowling pins. You could say we were very rowdy. Man, we were exhausted. We were so riled up that when we stopped it was 8:00 pm. So we had cereal and BBQ left overs from Saturday and Barry went on his way. I am so glad I was able to spend quality time with my kids laughing and smiling and wearing them out. Thank you to all those who served and serve our country so diligently and selflessly in order for us to practice the many freedoms we have. Oh my goodness!! I am so wiped out. Then I went onto facebook and saw a post a friend of mine put up. It was rather disappointing. Here it is:

It is a long held tradition for the U.S.President to lay a wreath in Arlington National Cemetery at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Memorial Day; but it won't happen this year. Our President Obama is taking a vacation to Chicago !!! Way to show respect to those who have given their life to protect this country !!

How insulting is it to all those who have died for us, for all of those who are still out fighting for us. This is a day to mourn the losses, yet we have turned this "holiday" into vacation time. How sad is it that not even out president can show support for the many who have died, become incapacitated and sacrificed so much for us. Thank you to all those who have and still do today. The Lord doe not forsake those who love and fight for Him. There are not enough words to say that can show our gratitude. I speak for my household and many others I am sure. God rest these "HEROES."
