My thoughts this Memorial Day Weekend: My time in Viet Nam, I don't remember much of the war, but I remember the people. Sharing our hopes and dreams of when we got back to the United States. This weekend we honor the ones that never got to realize those hopes and dreams, but to see the true cost of Freedom go to a VA Hospital. THANK YOU TO ALL THAT SERVED.

Mike Scruby just installed these flags. Thanks Mike.
