Memorial Day

Today we took the girls out to Point Loma's Tidepools and Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. After hunting for tipepool critters, we gave our respects to CPL Brian Kennedy, a childhood friend of mine from Chicago who was killed-in-action in Iraq. He was part of a downed helicopter crew that were the first casualties of the war, killed March 21, 2003. At his funeral I told his Mother we'd visit, and we do. To him and all our thousands of fallen in this war, we remember and thank you.

Definitely a beautiful Memorial Day :). The MCRD Marine Band was at Fort Rosecrans yesterday too and performed at the ceremony in the late morning. I bet next year around this time, you'll be playing many Memorial Day ceremonies with your name band as well :). Yay for our military!

You have a nice camera Jen, all the pics are stunning.

I can't believe you all actually got puppies! I thought we only got scraggly old dogs that already have ingrained racism (Scooter) and skin diseases (Lucy Sr.). Good choices in the Havanese, can't wait to meet 'em!
