To all my shipmates of the Marvin Shields, to all veterans, everywhere, I wish upon you a glorious memorial day, replete with the remembrance of why we still live in the greatest country on earth. We were/are the keepers of the only gateway to and qualified haven of freedom. God bless all..and Thank you!

A foggy MEMORIAL DAY memory from my childhood.
My parents, siblings, and I in a park near the waterfront in Corpus Christ.
Huge crowd, fighter jets zoom overhead, soldiers in dress uniform standing in a line.
They raise their rifles to fire a startling salute.
Old men, hold their wife close, with tears in their eyes.

As a child I did not understand.
As a husband father & grandfather . . . I do.
Thank you.
