Thoughts While Shaving

Memorial Day weekend 2018 is here.  White Lake water appears to be improving, apparently OK to swim and play in and boat on.

A chance of showers is in the forecast, and a tropical storm threatens the southern most parts of the US, as hurricane season begins.

Lest we forget, “Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country’s armed forces.  The holiday, which is currently observed every year on the last Monday of May”, according to Wikipedia.  “Memorial Day in not to be confused with Veterans Day—Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving, whereas Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans”

Guess we take the holiday for granted.  Rather than a day of remembrance, we to often celebrate by cooking out with family and friends.  For others, just another work day.

Government offices and numerous businesses observe the holiday, but for most retail outlets, open for business as usual.

However you celebrate, hope it is a good weekend.

My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.  John F. Kennedy

Courage, above all things, is the first quality of a warrior.  Carl von Clausewitz

The secret to happiness is freedom…And the secret to freedom is courage.  Thucydides
