Celebrated

I spent my Memorial Day in the company of three of my favorite Veterans: My Dad (Vietnam-though he will be quick to tell you he never saw combat), My Grandfather (who marched across Europe under General Patton but prefers not to talk about it), and My Husband (Operation Just Cause 1988-1989, Persian Gulf 1992-1993, and Operation Joint Forge 2000-2001). Rather than waving flags or visiting graves or making any kind of fuss over them, we celebrated Elisa's 5th birthday. Nobody seemed to mind the change of venue. Least of all my newly-minted 5 year-old. Regardless of how you spent your weekend-I hope it was a good one!
