| 100% Space Shuttle Door Gunner | Post; How are you honoring those on Memorial Day?Well, I'm spending Saturday Morning at the local gun show. I figure why not spend some money and buy some firearms. Them boys that gave their lives to defend my rights. And as such I will not turn my back on them and not excerise those rights. Saturday night I will patrol the mean streets. Same on Sunday and Monday.

| Nuclear Duck Hunter ![]() | Either putting flags on graves in our two cemetaries or around the courthouse. I hope I get courthouse duty but there are some older than me who will probably get that job. Either way, it's an honor.

| Milites Gregarius | I'll be going to our Veteran's Memorial. Later, there is a parade. I am uncertain if I will stay for that. Gotta add two names to my list, one from A-stan and the other from a damn HMMWV wreck in Europe. |

| 100% Space Shuttle Door Gunner | Well, on Monday all of us at the PD got to Town hall and played Taps for those that cannot be here. We also went to the local VFW and American Legion and spent some time with the older folks there. Sadly not much could've been done because we had three gnag shootings that day. |

| Optio | Even though I live in Germany and there isn't another American for miles around, I still fly my flag from the house. In the lower left, you can see my neighbors German flag, he always puts it up whenever he sees Old Glory flying over the town! ![]() |
