To all veteran out there have a great memorial day and thanks for your service (sounds so little for so much). Me and neighbor (navy) are off to program veteran's park.

Re: Memorial Day
This is a copy of my Facebook post on the subject. Rock of the Marne, John.
Today is Memorial Day. Living in New Mexico has led me to realize that in a way, Memorial Day is a cousin to Dia De Los Muertos, or at least it is the closest thing we have to it. Some of those whom we honor on this day were people that I knew personally, not like good friends, but I remember talking with them, living in the same buildings, sharing the suck circumstances. Anyway, don't let anyone make you feel bad when you grill out, drink beer, play with your kids, go to the beach, etc. I am pretty sure they would want you to go do those things.
