It’s Memorial Day, and while the kids are gleeful they don’t have to go to school, we’re planning a feast, and the pool is almost comfortable for more than a 10-minute dip before my skin welts up from the cold, it’s not a “happy” holiday. So, today, give a thought or two to the men and women this day is meant to remember—those who fell in service to this county.
And if you didn’t already know it, I have a book centered around a Memorial Day—but only pick up a copy if you’re ready for a good cry.

Thank you for remembering. I hope to read it when I can. It means a lot to me a veteran, but also as my great-great uncle Philip was KIA/MIA fom Korea till just two years ago. When he was finally able to be identified by DNA and returned.

Thank you for your service, Beckie. And what a huge, effing big deal that they finally “found” your uncle. Congrats to your family. *hugs*
