Memorial Day Weekend Wild Card

Memorial Day 2010
Memorial Day 2010

Yep. That's my guys, minus the cats. This photo was taken 2 years ago at Fairmount Memorial Park where my dad is buried. Every year we visit his grave and then go find the flag with his name on it. The flag is flown every year in honor of my dad's 23-year Air Force career.

This year we'll have another grave to visit in another veteran's cemetary. My father-in-law proudly served in the Army and later the Army National Guard.

Whatever else you do this weekend, I hope you'll take the time to reflect on the men and women who served our country in the armed forces. They deserve to be honored and remembered.

Dave will be back Tuesday.

In the meantime, here's your Wild Card.
