Thinking

But...on this Memorial Day...what is she thinking?

Perhaps she has lost a son. Or...perhaps a husband or a brother. Or a daughter.

Perhaps she is thinking about her health. Or life. Or...of the fact that she lives in a place that values freedom.

Hard to tell. Perhaps she is just patriotic. Or...she likes to hear the high school band play something from Sousa.

We had a nice day here. A short ceremony in our local cemetery, and a hot dog cookout at my Dad's house.

Now...I'm ending the night watching an American classic...Forest Gump.
