Good 44º clear morning. By Monday it's 80% chance it's going
to rain. Still haven't washed my truck!
Look at my pretty girl Alex.... and her handsome date, Eli,
for the prom last night...
This is quite a video... Viet Nam vets released from prisons
in 1973. A dinner at the White House hosting them. One man said there were
celebrities... and John Wayne sat at his table. He was beyond words. His hero
sitting at his table... and to the Duke, this man was his hero! Thanks Dave
Clark (LASD ret) for sharing this!
Yesterday I was lazy. I worked on some jewelry. I scrubbed a portion of
carpet that Dude had an "accident" on. Chore! "Make you poop outside" ? Yes! But, sometimes accidents happen. Darn.
I killed some weeds in the garden
and then called Ted of Evans Pest Control. He will be out to spray all the weeds
and the berry bushes as well as the creek bed. I am just not up to it! Did some
laundry. Watered the grass. Big over the top exciting day!

ARMED FORCES DAY
Third
Saturday in May
This
is simply a day to salute sharply to all of the men and women in all branches of
the service who protect our country and you. They can be called upon at a
moment's notice to perform a risky and perilous mission for freedom and country.
They train diligently both physically and mentally so they will be prepared to
prevail in any mission they face.
Just
how did it all begin? Well, each
branch of the military had their own day of celebration. But, on August 31, 1949
then Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation of Armed Forces
Day. President Harry Truman also announced the holiday in a presidential
proclamation on February 20, 1950. All branches of the military were asked to
celebrate on this day and they complied on the first Armed Forces Day which was
held the following year on May 20, 1950.
