My daughter learned about Memorial Day in school and wanted to know more about it. So I set her up to spent today with my dad's best friend, who served two tours of duty in Vietnam. He offered to take her to a ceremony and a veteran's meeting.
Danielle came home very excited about a half-hour ago. Orange County veterans held a huge ceremony where she got to be a flag bearer. It was obviously very inspiring.

We also celebrated my daughter's birthday on May 30. We had a huge cookout in our backyard with lots of food and cake.
Good to celebrate Memorial Day with people of German, Mexican, Pakistani, Russian and Iranian ancestry.

Well, of course, with everyone. Because we all owe so much to those who gave so much.
