Memorial Day

There are 101 (okay, maybe 1001) different Memorial Day videos on YouTube.

Many of them have touching photos and music that stirs the soul.

I always cry when I watch them.

Even before I was a Navy wife, I was taught a love for the country of my birth.

But I choose this video to share with you....

not for the music or the photos,

but to help us remember.

It's not just an extra day off -

REMEMBER 


BE THANKFUL

Asan Park, Guam - Memorial Day

Tsunami Swim Club - Memorial Day

Memorial Day was also the end of the season party for Tsunami Swim Club.

Everyone had a great day!

Kinda strange for me to see Michael just "hanging out"
You know, like a teenager..........



Asan Park is a beautiful area that used to be a battle field 60+ years ago.

This is one of the locations that the U.S. Marines first landed on the island of Guam to reclaim the island from the Japanese forces and liberate the people of Guam.  A flag was placed in the field to show the loss of life here.  The photo does not show the magnitude of loss on this battle field.

It's overwhelming.

I wrote about my first visit to Asan Park here.

On this Memorial Day, 2011 - 
I want to say THANK YOU 
to all our service members and their families.  


All gave some..............


SOME GAVE ALL!
