Growing up in small town america back in the 50's Memorial Day was a big event. There was a big parade which ended back at the court house square. An honor guard from the legion fired a 21 gun salute and all of us kids scrambled to pick up the brass when they were done.
A big salute to all the vets on the campfire as well as the men and women currently serving our counry.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for bears. Bears kill you.
