Remember, Some Gave All

Remember, Some Gave All

Herb’s Blog, Herbdate 23100 – 1129

Greetings, Salutations, and Hi there Fans, Friends, Fiends, Foes, and Frankfurters!

Here’s the haps:

I’m sorry there is no Nice On The Net Saturday post today but nobody was nice anywhere in the world. That’s not true. It’s just that this week was filled with extra visits from grandkids, an awards ceremony, graduation for our church school, and a run-up to Memorial Day which will include a churchwide Memorial Day picnic. Silly as it sounds, blogging takes a back seat to real life sometimes.

American Flag etiquette for Memorial Day is early in the morning, raise the flag briskly to the top of the staff, then lower it to half-staff until noon, at which time raise it briskly to the top until sundown.

      Well, you have been known to talk like a sausage.

        If it like a sausage and walks like a sausage it’s a sausage.

          I never sausage a thing.

    It astonishes me that for some people, the worth of a soldier is dependent on the war they fight, and the worth of the country as a whole is dependent on the last war they fought.

      Well said.
